karl have you seen them gadgets that thread a bit of rubber compound into a tubeless tyre to fix it without removing the tyre ,they only work for very small holes like a nail or screw puncture.

karl, for about £60 you can get a "bolt to the floor" tyre changing rig. come to think of it im sure ive seen a smaller job for £45.
at the repair mans prices two punctures and its been paid for.
no bruised knuckles either with the right tool, or bent spoons!

try northern tools in portsmouth karl. i know that they have one of the small sizes. also good old screwfix do the larger one, thats £74 but comes with the heavy duty tyre lever.
do a google on both names. i would do a link, but being a bit old fashioned about computers/ technolodgy i haven`t found out how to do it yet! :wink:
