So, out on the Raleigh Motus eBike on Sunday (my birthday incidentally) and got a front tyre puncture on rural roads in Perthshire (lots of farm tracks, blown down tree debris, single track, having to cut over to let cars pass etc)
Got home, pulled a bloody great thorn out, replaced the inner tube then discovered my back tyre was also flat, pulled the thorn out of that, bought another inner tube, had an unusual (for me) attack of common sense and checked the tyre for any other thorns (if there's 2 there could be 3!), and sure enough, there was another one in there which would have knackered my new 2nd inner tube, etc etc.
So, today, a friend intimated that there is a product out there that will seal and inflate a puncture allowing the rider to get home at the very least (I had to suffer the ignominy of phoning the wife to come and get me). Is there any such product like that that the good folks here would recommend??
Thanks in advance as always!
ps: I'm, not going on that road again (Glenalmond to Keillour!)
