Hi all!

this morning happened a similar thing to me. Tomorrow I want to go to
France. While controlling the chain, I recocnized a screw in my rear-wheel.
I tried to remove it smoothly, but the air went. Metzler is not able to sell
an E4. Perhaps I get one tomorrow evening!? The tire was brand-new, but my
dealer told me, that it is not allowed to repair tires with an "H" in their
specification. Does anyone know, if this information is correct?

Shit happens.
