Yellow crayon
Today I got a puncture in the rear wheel of my Synergie Mistral - I have only had it just over a week! So I bought a puncture repair kit from Halfords, remembering that when I was a boy - about 60 years ago - they always came with a yellow crayon inside intended for marking the position of the hole on the inner tube.
The crayon was always useless.
I was amazed to find they STILL DO IT! And it remains just as useless as ever. The first time I touched it the thing broke and of course it never makes anything like a mark on an inner tube.
I find that a modern write-on-anything marker, preferably in white or yellow, works perfectly. When are the makers of these repair kits going to chuck the useless yellow crayons away and get up todate?
