Hi
Hope everyone's well and many thanks in advance for any suggestions anyone can make.
I've got a porterlite mk1 and went to try and use it last week but tyre was completely deflated and couldn't re-inflate it. I think it might be damaged/torn at the base of the valve on the inner. So, I was contemplating either getting a new puncture proof wheel so I don't have the issue happen again, or else getting a new replacement inner for the existing wheel, or maybe both so that I've got a back up if it happens again.
And was just wondering if anyone could recommend a good replacement or puncture proof wheel - is it best to go with the official prestige one or are there better alternatives others have found which would fit the porterlite mk1?
And if getting a replacement inner for the existing wheel as well then is there a company which sells more durable inners than others?
Many thanks for taking the time to read and many thanks for any suggestions/recommendations you have.
Thanks
Alex

Sorry I'm rubbish with links but that's what I've put on mine. Peace of mind that you won't get a flat but they are definitely harder to push than a standard tyre.

Thanks, for the reply it's much appreciated. So, is the prestige official one the best one to opt for? Want sure if there were other non-prestige branded which were as good and less expensive? If not I'll go for a prestige replacement.

Many thanks for the response and the link, it's much appreciated. The link says fits all mk2 models. Do you have any idea if it would also fit the mk1 porterlite as mines a mk1 not a mk2.
Many thanks for your help
