Had a new rear tyre about 500 miles ago. Went to get the bike out of the garage yesterday and its fairly flat on closer inspection there's a nail right in the middle of the tyre gone right through and protruding from the tyre slightly.
Can bike tyres be repaired? If so is it worth it?
I think that at the moment its just causing a slow puncture, i'm tempted to pump it up and ride it the 8 or so miles to the tyre shop. Think i'd get away with it?
Cheers,
Pete

always the same mate, i had my pirelli diablos on for 2 weeks and got a great screw in the rear (no jokes please!) anyways took it back and they repaired it but didn't feel confident with it so put another new one on.
