Bugger...... l got a puncher

And your contributions as to where a bod in north London can get his puncture repaired are what, precisely?

Come on chuffer, you live in London apparently, what's tripping off your tongue? The other fellow lives oop norf, so is probably more familiar with rain, whippets and closed down mines.

Oddly enough the only posts with any help in this thread have come from "southerners", some of which have a dash of humour added too. The unhelpful posts seem to predominantly originate from "up [oop] north" where it is apparently grim.
 
Wappers' post did actually contain a link to a long of tyre fettlers in the north end of town.

Slagging off the hand that's helping you wins you no favours at the sharp end of the country.

Exactly.:thumb How very strange.:rolleyes:
 
+1 Stop'n'Go plugging kit. The CO2 cylinders will inflate the tyre enough to get you to a garage if you don't carry a pump of any kind.
 
Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Metzeler and Pirelli approve the repair of their tyres in accordance with British Standards BS AU159/f which states:-

Tyres up to and including J rating (60 mph) – 2 repairs per tyre, not exceeding 6mm in diameter.
Tyres above J speed rating and up to and including V speed rating (149 mph) – 1 repair per tyre, not exceeding 3mm in diameter.
No repairs to tyres above V speed rating. (This includes W rated tyres fitted on most road bikes over 600CC.)
The above repairs must only be carried out in the central part of the tread as defined by the 50% of the tyre section width.

The only manufacturer that approves repair of their W rated tyres is Michelin. They say 2 repairs of no more than 3 mm are permitted providing they are in the central 50% of the tread width.

Well today l got the puncture repair done for free

:-)

That's for all the help, and wisdom. I'm a northerner living in London for the last few years. It's the second puncture I've had in 14 months and the first one l phone the bike shop round the corner and they had an innertube instock so l fitted it that afternoon and was on my way. Having this has my first puncture in a tubeless tyre was a little different and l was asking if anyone knew a good company that was in the area that could sort it out.

It so happens that a the new tyre fitter at work, knows about bike tyres and sorted mine out today.

So all is good..

Yes l had Googled it and come up with a few company's that another fellow had put the links to. But l was wondering if someone could recommend a company that they knowhow and have used them before or knowhow someone thatched used them
 
Pal, as you are now on tubeless tyres, do yourself a favour and buy a tyre plugger kit and some method of re-inflating the tyre..

You rely on your bike for work, so a few quid spent will pay for itself. The chances are you'll now not need it; worry not, you'll be able to sell it on.
 
After getting two rear punctures in the first 700 miles of owning an F800GT, I swiftly realised that a plugging kit and a pump are rather handy. The first was too large and in the sidewall but the second was successfully plugged and stayed so until I sold it. Big thanks to BMW Battersea for coming up with a Conti Road Attack 2 tyre on a Saturday, but don't touch them - they're really grippy but the tread is so soft everything just sinks into the tyre.
4,000 miles on the original Anakee III on the GS and they're less than 50% worn. The deeper tread and thicker profile also seems less likely to pick up road crap in central London.
