Apparently, I am told that, in Germany, these RFTs are manufactured to be replaced once there is a puncture - of course, they don't have as many nails as we have on Malaysian roads. And the tyre sealants, always afraid to use them (though I have a bottle at home), coz their use requires a great amount of care: <a href="http://www.mospaw.com/portfolio/FlatFree/diligence.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.mospaw.com/portfolio/FlatFree/diligence.shtml</a>. So far, I have only used normal patching (i.e. the usual from the outside). Don't know what to do with a tyre puncture now that there are a number of views. Definitely recommended to have a pump at home - I hear of stories of the dangers in pumping at the petrol station - coz usually the pumps are in a deserted corner. I use a simple foot pump, and it works great although the gauge is at best an estimate, and is not accurate at all.</blockquote>
