Well, I knew this site could be educational peebee but I didn’t think I’d be learning stuff on an international site about my home, whilst on the other side of the world! I have no memory of Dunsop Bridge although I hail from Accrington, which is less that 20 miles away and no doubt have blasted through there on many a motorcycle during my youth! The geographical centre of the UK, all the way ‘up North’ - well I never!!Taken at Dunsop Bridge in Lancashire, a few steps from here is the direct geographical centre of the UK................allegedly.

And what an area to be from'Your welcome Stanley'Where about's in Oz are you, I lived near Newcastle NSW in the seventies, and bobbed around on a Honda XL250 but not in shorts and thongs.
On the Sunshine Coast of Qld, ‘beautiful one day, perfect the next’ as they say - except for the last 6 months when it has mostly been pissing it down'Your welcome Stanley'Where about's in Oz are you, I lived near Newcastle NSW in the seventies, and bobbed around on a Honda XL250 but not in shorts and thongs.
Yes Peter , that’s my 3rd puncture in 29,000 miles , the new Michelins I have had on 3000 miles , bit of a wobble & thought I better stop , 2.5 hours wait for the recovery ( RAC ) which is good apparently, caught the bike shop just b4 they closed,left it there till next week.tubed tyres, can't plug em. ?. Always been my worry.![]()
Bloomin bad luck lad. Especially just before the bank holiday weekend with the weather the way it is. I recommend a three day Beer and BBQ binge and try to look on the bright side, the money you save on fuel will pay for the repair.Yes Peter , that’s my 3rd puncture in 29,000 miles , the new Michelins I have had on 3000 miles , bit of a wobble & thought I better stop , 2.5 hours wait for the recovery ( RAC ) which is good apparently, caught the bike shop just b4 they closed,left it there till next week.
Any suggestions anyone apart from carbon wheels ??
There are kits available to seal the spokes and convert from tubed to tubeless. But I’ve no actual experience of using any.Yes Peter , that’s my 3rd puncture in 29,000 miles , the new Michelins I have had on 3000 miles , bit of a wobble & thought I better stop , 2.5 hours wait for the recovery ( RAC ) which is good apparently, caught the bike shop just b4 they closed,left it there till next week.

You were lucky to notice so quickly as when it is fully deflated it is almost impossible to get the side stand down. We had to push the bike onto a handy brick to be able to do so.I’ve had better ride outs ! , today I have the absence of air in the rear tyre , AKA a puncture , so currently waiting for the recovery truckView attachment 98753
No good feedback from bike tyre fitters or CCM, they have both advised tubes for spoked rims.There are kits available to seal the spokes and convert from tubed to tubeless. But I’ve no actual experience of using any.
I’m pretty sure that this firm central wheels made the norton wheels aswell , this kit could be worth a punt ! View attachment 98768
Ditto here.I wouldn't trust anything whatsoever from this company.

I would love to claim that I was riding my 961 around Aus glb but that was’nt the case - I was on the mighty 990. My body would’t have made it half way across the Nullarbor on the CR - I’d also have to question whether the Norton would have made 18k km in 40 days or so, in that sort of territory.You were lucky to notice so quickly as when it is fully deflated it is almost impossible to get the side stand down.

I recently installed the Outex kit on the Triumph front.There are kits available to seal the spokes and convert from tubed to tubeless. But I’ve no actual experience of using any.
