Ouch, all you need now is a bunch of nuts to go with those bolts. You can find those all around here.

It's funny isn't it, you get a puncture and of course it's the tyres fault! I've run about 10 sets of Michies on my bikes in the last few years and NEVER had a puncture!! Where as, the previous Metzlers and Bridgies all had a puncture at various times! It must be Bridgies and Metzlers which are at fault!!! ;)
