[QUOTE="Donal, post: 1392795, member: 20675"] I have had at least one puncture on every rear tyre (on the FJR). The worst was four puntures, all different and all fixed with sticky strings. On my most recent puncture I had great difficulty getting the string to hold. I noticed when I was putting a twist in that the ends of the string were also rotating with the tool. I realised that the string was too cold, air temp was about 2 Deg C! I put a new string on the exhaust pipe for a few minutes, this made a huge difference. It went in easily, put the 1 1/2 turns in to form a knot, leak sealed..... I have used the "Stop n Go Pocket Plugger" with very good results but only on punctures caused by nice clean round objects such as nails. Most of my problems are caused by sharp pieces of flint. Any Neolithic hunter would be proud to use them................ [/QUOTE]
