After having the valve fall of my front tube on Sunday (though I managed to have it changed and back on the road in 20 mins) I am thinking of running tubliss or mousses. Advice about the difference of these would be appreciated. Also my front rim is bent, would that make a difference????? Cheers Steve

Bike value approx £1500 Fully comp - £79.48 with £500 excess TPFT - £69.68 with £200 excess I suppose it depends on whether I think my bike is more likely be crashed (and not able to claim from the 3rd party) or stolen. I'm leaning towards TPFT as I can do a lot of repairs (in...
