    Just parked up at work this morning, tell-tale funny little 'pfffff' sound coming from bike as I parked it... yep, sure enough, back tyre's punctured, and unrideable tonight... f*ck-f*ck-f*ck, f*ck-a duck :(

    Anyone know a mobile bike tyre fitter (or even if such exists) in Dublin?

    Alternatively, what's my best target for repair/fitting, starting from Leeson Street?

    Guttedly yours,
    ambro25

    If you're insured with Carole Nash, just phone up their breakdown line (+44 1737 815 310...hmm, never noticed that was a UK number before) and they'll send a guy around to fix you up.

    Thx but all sorted with the guys from the URL I posted.

    They were a bit dear, but very friendly, efficient and fast.

    Recommended if you're in a bind. :)

    Is the ultraseal a diy job?
    Are there any pitfalls?
    :confused:

    Just release the air..take out the valve stem and pop it in, instructions tell you how much to use for tyre size then of course pump her back up. Does what it says in prolonging tyre life because it stops overheating thus saving rubber and it works for punctures too, once pulled a 3" nail out of the back wheel and lost little or no air..sealed that yoke right up..it's great stuff !

    btw it's pricy at over 60euro a bottle but worth it
