Hi guys, I had a flat this morning and had to use the dreaded space saver (just what you want on the way to work). Has anyone used one before and managed to get it as flat as it started? Mines just docents want want to shrink back and I'm fairly sure there's no pressure in there.

Cheers

Chris
 
Can take a while, just need to leave the valve open, although mine goes back within 20 minutes.
 
Yeah' mine went back after use
 
ok cheers, i was having the puncture fitted on my lunch break so was in a bit of a rush. Ill give it a go this weekend.
 
If it doesn't want to go back, put a ratchet strap round the tyre tread and tighten it up till it goes back to how it was before it was inflated :)
 
That's a genius idea, I might have acquired a strap from my dad. Cheers.
