Puncture Repair Kit..

Roy · 26-09-2004, 15:58

My off road pram with proper wheels has sprung a leak. Where would I buy a puncture repair kit and pump from, the same as for a bike?

Just give the shop the wheel and he will fix it for you Roy (but he is a bit slow)

Now thats my style of thinking!!

Forgive my arrogance, but if I live back home this chap would have had the use of a pump and a puncture outfit hours age. Does nobody have a bike over there?

I've got a puncture repair kit and a pump but it's still a lot easier to take wheels down to Harry Gregsons - or is that sheer laziness? My excuse is something like "got better things to be doing"

True.....

I was over there a week or two a go. I was parked up, sat thinking. At least two people asked me if I needed any help. “That’s what make's people in the east of Lancashire special”.

Trying to be helpful comes as second nature to most folk round these parts.

Doug · 26-09-2004, 22:44

I know, I'm one of them. I just happen to live somewhere else.

When I was a kid, my dad used to fix my punctures for me....and to this day, I remember all the bent spoon handles in the cutlery drawer! Didn't want Roy left with a bent handle

which is why I suggested he take the wheel to the shop.

Well fielded Busman…. and so elegantly put.

hehe, well, I took the wheel to the shop. He said he no longer repairs inner tubes but would sell me a new one.. Only 3 quid though and it was a lot easier to sort than a large bike wheel!
