Chas Bikes/Puncture

Headhunter · 03-07-2006, 07:36 PM

Oh the joys of a rear wheel puncture on a country road somewhere between Henley on Thames and the M4 wearing full leathers in 32c heat for near on 3 hours!

I wont even go into one about the number of "Sunday bikers" on their plastic bullets who kindly beeped their horn as they went past - whatever happened to bikers stopping to help when a fellow biker is in need of help????!!!!!

But I guess they were pleasant after the 20th car with teenage scrunts had gone past shouting cr*p and making w**nker signs!

Still at least good ol' Chasbikes rekindled my slipping faith in bikers - top service - have to be the cheapest in Central London for repairs etc and free food on top.

For anyone in London looking for standard repairs/replacement work, which doesn't need an experienced Ducati person to do it, then I really do recommend Chasbikes.

Hi Headhunter,

After having several punctures myself (my bike not me), I now always carry a puncture repair kit under the seat. They're really easy to use and you'll be riding again within half an hour. Get them at any bike shop... Hein-Gericke do them for about Â£15.

Darry.

Cheers Darry.

Unfortunately some kind person left a lovely piece of shrapnel in a laybye and it pretty much shredded the back tyre, so it was beyond repair

Have you got any closer to moving up the Monster ladder yet? Saw a couple of your previous posts with Ricky - did make me chuckle

Nope still on the lower rungs... not as low as Ricky obviously.

And let me make this clear... I didn't post 'with' Ricky... I am not 'with' Ricky!

Well if anyone needs any volcanized rubber for that extra bit of protection, I know Chasbikes has some!

I've used Chasbikes for years, top notch, where else can you get a puncture fixed at 8:30am on your way to work in cental London? Have they fixed their balancer yet? I got them to take my wheel round the corner to have it balanced, last month! As for instant repair kits, nothing pisses of the guy who has to change your tyre like a load of slimy gunk in the old one!

I was only refering to the plug type repair kits not the pre-emptive liquid gunk!

I was thinking of the post puncture gunk. I've never used the pre-emtive gunk, years ago 'they' said it ate your tyres from the inside, dunno if it still does.

I bloody hope so! Bike seems fine, so am guessing (well praying) yes.

Keep an eye out in the obituary pages though.

You're only supposed to use a little bit of the gunk... never seemed to be too much mess when they took the tyre off. Maybe its its just because you're a slob that you get the stuff everywhere?
