Re: Where to take my back wheel?
My first choice would be CMS.
I don't know Andys (mechanic) work time over the holidays.
Give Derek a ring 01392 467700 and mention my name
I have a plug kit if that helps.
EDIT. Have you checked it is not just a leaking valve

Thanks Andy have put some air in now the wheel is off & it's definitely not punctured or leaking valve, it's just along the rims so I'll take it in and get them to seal it back on.
Thanks
I have a friend who works at CMS too.

Re: Where to take my back wheel?
Another way to check a wheel:
Spray some washing up liquid around the rim (on the tire) and you should see bubbles.
or Fill the bath (or use a horse trough) and dunk the wheel in to see the bubbles.
With the amount of flooded roads around, we could park the bike in a shallow bit and look for bubbles. (saves taking the wheel off)
