I have worn a hole in a tyre, have ordered replacements over the web but they have not arrived yet, but really need a new tyre for the weekend.

apart from BLB who stocks the orange stelvios in london?

have called bicylemagic, bonthrone, bikefix and dearched online but no luck so far.

Cut to shape and tape an old credit card or Oyster card, or even one of Jonny's old rail tickets to the inside of the tyre. It'll get you through the weekend!

Does it have to be stelvios? I mean why didn't you have a cheap bontager tyre as a spare until your preferred one arrived?

Selfridges have them I think.

orange stelvio is in keeping with the current look of the bike (style over substance)

Murtle - I have turned it by a few teeth.

its more that my natural disposition is to fret and worry, plus I am going clubbing Saturday night and don't want an epic fail on the journey home and I have probably tempted fate by saying this.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
