Danny, you spelt pump - 'punk' in 1st para
#q#Folks who got a punk can get their tyre's repaired for 840 yen.#q#

Can't wait for Fig Mirai!!! - The AR looks awesome
How much are tyres in Japan? ie: to replace - Im assuming they should be cheaper than where I am since bicycles aren't a major point in transport over here. More recreational than commuting.

        I've never used the term punk. That may be because I've not really ridden a bike since I last had an accident on mine.

        Back in the day I used to race BMX, you didn't hear the term a lot but now and again you would. And about 30% of the road racers would say they got a punk too. I don't know if they still do in Colorado or not.

    Me thinks That this 'punk' is a Danny special where the word 'puncture' has been abreviated. Never heard of 'punk' as a slang term in this situation, but I did understand what was being said.
    
    Hey! Does that make me a hep daddy-o and a cool cat?

840 Yen for a repair is quite cheap compated to the barebone service here and the prices.

I would pay approx. 15 Euros (2000 Yen) just for the work time plus material costs!!

I didn't really notice a change in load times to figure.fm but that's probably because I am not bothered by them, but if people say it's fast than hooray.
We don't get bicycle stops around here, probably because it isn't really a big form of transport.
