    You dont need to boast, the tyres speak for themselves. Pretty neat pic there. Remember seeing it on Sumit's Pod Touch.

    Regarding the nail, it tried to pierce through the spot where the button begins from the tyre, but got bent inside. was scary to look from out side that I asked the fellow if he has the tubeless puncture kit for sure Well not a bad tyre for 5K aint it.
    I must say the tyre goes well with your bulletproof style of riding. And you did not carry a Puncture repair kit with you! All India tourer screwed if theres a puncture! I guess it would'v been nice to see the real performance of your tyre if you had taken it to the trek.

    And regarding the spray, will do the 30 second thingy before I confirm that its bad stuff.

    ya I guess its the same chain spray, you a spray a little on ur thumb, then press a little with your index finger and rotate for 30 sec, then separate the fingers slowly, the liquid should make a web like thing. The thicker the web better the spray!
    The name of the chain spray i got was Release-On R840. If I did the 30 sec rotation thing, my finger would probably be glued Damn thing is so sticky. 4inch nail? I suppose it went into one of the buttons?

    Sirac is not noisy. I ride behind or parallel to a P220 with Sirac quite often at speeds near the ton and it is not noisy at all. And it is much softer compound than the stock rubber - has a lot more grip.
    Brand is Release-On R840. It lubes, but since its so very sticky, feels like it would dry up too soon. Prabhu, please confirm if the chain spray you used was the same. Similar long black container. It doesn't particularly say that its made for O-rings.

    And regarding the Sirac, I guess it would be one of the contenders for my next tyre change. Thanks Hyd.
