After a nice morning at the Hollyville Café with Tornado and Simon the rear end of Ammo my Bullet started top wander a bit I suspected a puncture but as I have Goop in my tyres I decided to carry on the short distance left to go as the tyre was soft but not flat, when I checked the tyre no damage was found but it was loosing pressure so off with the wheel and tyre, what I found was what looks like a nick in the tube, also the rubber rim tape was not over the centre of the wheel I am surprised it has stayed up for the last 18 months since I bought the bike new

",,,,, I am surprised it has stayed up for the last 18 months since I bought the bike new "
I might suggest that it was done in the factory by a poor tyre fitter or in UK by the dealer/importer tyre fitter if the tyres were replaced with better rubber than factory fitment

That must've been a bit of a let down.
see what happens when you scoff down a number 3 breakfast?
I don't suppose R E will give you a free inner tube and warranty?

I had a spare tube so Ammo was up and running in no time, needed to use soppy water and 50psi to get the tyre to fit the rim properly, as that is my only problem in the last 18 months I am happy, I ordered some tyre lube with some more spare tubes which arrived from Hitchcock yesterday so I have put some in a small plastic bottle to carry wit me in case I need to remove a tyre by the road side, the other thing I noticed when ordering tubes the front wheel is 19in the rear 18in
