Puncturesafe Blue Goo

[Loops]

To continue the positive threads we've had recently about good service, I thought I'd remind people about the blue Puncturesafe goo that Nooj fits.

I wasn't sure how well it would work but I had the CBR done last year and I can now say I have tested it, and it does seem to do the job! Those of you at the H&C last week will have seen the screw he picked up in the rear tyre - that is now out and the tyre is still holding pressure 2 days later 8-)

Will be having it put in again when the tyres need replacing. And if a bunch of bikes wanted it fitted to go to Cornwall I'm sure he would be willing to come over this way and save us all a drive.

I've got puncture safe in both of my tyres.
I had a slow in the rear that couldn't be traced - it's held it's 36psi for at least a month now - with no signs of any pressure loss at all!
There are some vids on utube of this amazing products abilities.
- and its made & designed in the UK!
P.s. It's a 'permanent repair' - not a temporary repair.

Used the stuff for years, when it was still called Ultraseal, then stopped using it, now started using it again.

It's a bit like Marmite...
Some like it - some don't.
If you are in the 'isn't your life worth the price of a new tyre?' camp, just think of it as a pretty good 'get me home' fix, without having to trundle about at 30 MPH, or so.

Just remember to tell whoever fits your tyres that it's in there so the're prepared for it.

If you can't face all the hassle of doing the boring squirting in bit, Lightning Services have just started doing it, ride in-ride out.

An alternative view (I seem to be having a lot of those lately ;D).
Guy who changed my tyres (Rob Jone - very experienced, trustworthy, highly recommended and well known mechanic), didn't like it.
Can unbalance the tyres.

Also read in Ride magazine recently that one guy picked up 13 punctures riding past an accident scene. Didn't realise because of the puncture safe.
Ended up coming off and in intensive care.

That's not my opinion (anticipating the disagreement ) that was published in RIDE magazine very recently.

It does seem that whatever subject you pick - tyre repairs, waterproofs, scottoilers, preventative tyre sealants that you can get totally opposite view points.

I don't use it anymore.

VERY true!

Its not for me either - the price of a new tyre is absolutely insignificant compared to what I'm worth as far as I'm concerned.
