Metal in tyre

Got some 'new' pmt tyres for the Z1 the other day and there seems to be a staple or something stuck in the rear tyre. On the inside of the tyre I couldn't feel it at all but still not sure whether to pull it out or not. Any thoughts?

next time i would spend the extra 100 bucks and get new ones .. .

but what gromet said to do...

no use leaving it in there because it will end up coming out sooner of later and its better to do it sooner so you dont have to take the tyre off the rim to do so...

if worse comes to worse just put a tube inside and it will work again..

He did say they were new...

or you could send them back, they should replace them, send them an email or something first though

Hi Joel
You can go to supercheap and get tubeless repair kits or just put some PPPPPFT simliar to slime but doesn't leave a mess
I would pull it out and see if it goes flat.

Sikaflex is good but at $28 a tube, its pricey. Use Bostik Seal'n'Flex at $10.50 a tube. Cheaper and just as affective. Available at your local Bunnings!


Bunnings, i expect a discount for this advert! <I'm there 3-4 times a week!>
