Woops Until a little while go I had no idea what a valve core was! Completely overlooked on instructions. Might work now I know I hope. Thank you.

I didn't realise that until I bought a removal tool.

Re: Puncturesafe
Don't forget to use 'special wind' too when you re-inflate your hoops.And don't use secondhand wind.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!

Like charging extra for a nitrogen fill for your tyres. "Air" is about 80% nitrogen...

Re: Puncturesafe
Drago, have you put PunctureSafe in both tyres? Just as an after note, last week I found a nice shiny rivet shaft stuck into my rear tyre minus the rivet head! I spotted it when my bike was on the drive just prior to putting it away in the garage. PunctureSafe had shown up the issue with it's blue dye. I was a brave little soldier and grabbed the offending shaft with my pliers and proceded to 'yank'. Very brief hissing and then nothing as I rotated the wheel. Sealed straight away. It's the second rear wheel puncture in the Vespa GTS in just 3 months, both times PunctureSafe sealed it straight away for good. I checked the tyre pressure after the event and it had not changed, didn't lose enough air to make any difference. Normally I check the pressure and keep an eye on the tyre for a few days just to make sure. But it seems to have sealed permanently. So far, in total I've had 4 punctures in the GTS in 18 months and everyone has sealed thanks to PunctureSafe. That's a huge number of punctures for me as the are quite a rare event usually. My theory on why I am suddendly getting so many is that the GTS is so much darn fun to throw around in the traffice and so easy to filter with that I'm riding it on areas of the road where more debris is laying making me susceptible to this sort of thing. Hope your tyre is ok Drago!
