Mud tyre puncture.....

<< < (5/5)

andyb:
Not sure what you mean by stick of licquorice but the ones we use are legal on the road and push in a open ended needle thing.

pegleg66:
i use the liquorice thread with a reamer and large needle like tool (ie it has an eye in it) take out the screw or item that has punctured the tyre as long as when you put the reamer in to the hole it fits snugly, place liquorice stalk in to needle implement and push in to hole twist around and pull back out gently and cut level with the tread. these are quite legal, as the AA use them in an emergency, also if like i said the hole is snug, when you go to repair the tyre properly you can remove the liquorice, buff the inside of the tyre and glue and use a mushroom patch( patch with middle stalk, pull this thru the hole and the inside will stick to the inner tyre, cut stalk off on the outside of tyre)
hope this helps.
