Yup, me and this guy was changing out an oil drain cock on the gen so we were lifting up and he slipped in some oil and down it came on my toes. Lost my big toenail, YIKES
I took my complaint about the bicycle's flat tires to the bike dealer that sold me the tubes and installed something called Slime inside that would prevent a flat. They were of no help as they said it doesn't work all the time but generally the goo works.
They went with the quick fix instead of getting their hands dirty.
I have a Fugi 12 speed and there is no way to fix a flat without new tubes. And I replace the tires at the same time.
