    "Gay"? WTF?

  • Where are you?

  • at my flat on tott crt rd, near goodge st station

  • Stuff the tyre with grass.

  • i have have a used durex condom, maybe I could use that? hahaha

  • what's been punctured?

    unless it's your bum, using 'gay' to describe it is offensive.

    i've bodged punctures before by filling the tyre with grass and leaves to pad it out enough so i wasn't riding on the rim. you could also try knotting the tube either side of the puncture but you will need to stop and pump up the tyre every now and again.

    Sorry, can't help

  • no problem, cheers anyway fruitbat

  • I don't mean it in an offensive manner, just in the stupid school boy way. Really need to get out of the habit of saying that actually!

    Appreciated.

  • Stuff the tyre with grass.

    Or litter, as you're on Tottenham Court Road.

  • Tie a knot in the tube.

    Like you describe, definetely a bodge, not guaranteed & will be bumpy.

  • i'm just gonna wrap a load of fucking tape and glue around it. Bodge in style.

  • cut a bit of old tube up and glue it on.

  • that was my first thought, but I always chuck my knackered tubes

  • silly

  • i know :(

  • Zip tie either side?

  • i put some all purpose glue and tape on, was holding nicely until I pumped too much...I give up. getting the fucking bus. Bollocks.

  • cheers for the help though boys

  • .

  • Why not just walk to cavendish and buy a new tube/puncture repair kit? Tis but a short walk away!

    In fact i bet there's a shop within 5 minutes of your house that sells puncture repair kits, and i bet it'll even be open 24 hours knowing tcr :)

  • A black cab is supposed to take a bike.

  • what's been punctured?

    unless it's your bum, using 'gay' to describe it is offensive.

    X) ha ha. absolutely true, but that's the funniest way you could have put it.
