Out Of Prison

A good nights sleep was had by all and we found our first puncture in the rear wheel. Slow pucture at that as i had noticed it was low the day before pumped it up and it went down again. After removing the wheel it was the standard nail in the edge. They never seem to go in the middle. Always near the edge (about an inch in). Repaired with Tyre String and off we went. A question for Mike or those that have…How long have you driven on a stringed tyre ? I know the official line is temporary but really can it last the life of the tyre. I understand it can quite easily. If i get it pluged properly it will need a balance so i’m lothed to get a roadside place to do it as they cannot balance it. I could get this done in mombasa but is a plug really needed ?
