Had some new Bridgetsones fitted yesterday, the fitter commented on the fact that I had better make sure my AA subscription was up to date in case I got a puncture.

I have not run tubed tyres in years - is there any kind of areosol can you van carry to fill the tube in case of a flat? I have run tubeless for years and it was never a problem.

Fitting that rear wheel - Yamaha have a sick sense of humour, how come you need three hands? Every time you lift the wheel into place a spacer falls out and just when you have it sussed youve no free hands to push the axel through! My Fazer was a doddle compared to this nightmare.
