[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 6466, member: 109"] [b]Unfortunately similar pain....[/b] I had a similar embarrasing experience, I changed the tyre the night before going to the Riders Rally in York - put a new tube in whilst I was at it. I left the bike on the ramp and was chuffed with myself to be going to bed early around 10pm for a very early start the next morning - I thought, I'll just take it off the ramp, turn it around and be all ready for the off in the morning. Well you've guessed it, as I took it off the ramp I felt it heavy on the rear tyre - it was flat - I had nipped the tube as I put it in and fitted the tyre. So much for an early night, out with the wheel, off with the tyre and fit a second new tube (thank goodness I had one) - finally hit bed after 11pm..... It happens. Stuart [/QUOTE]
