My Conti 5000tl and Schwalbe Ones are holding up quite well but a bit of dodgy cycle old route Between the villages has eroded and sharp flints occasionally slice the a bit.
Anyone tried flexible super glue to fill the slits and hopefully stop them getting longer?
dunno if you could do this on (tubeless)road tyres, but I use a new gp4000 that burst cut up as interior patches to repair tubeless mountain bike tyres and tubed road tyres glued in with typical rubber solution.
Different tyres or a different route if it was me.
Not gonna happen. I like the tyres too much and the route is essential under certain traffic conditions.
I’ve used ‘shoe goo’ to repair flint cuts in my GP4000 tyres as I’ve never actually managed to wear one out yet before they are ruined by cuts - and finally holes. Shoe goo is used to repair shoe soles & is apparently used by skateboarders. It doesn’t last forever, unfortunately, but does fill the cuts & gives some protection.
Shoe Goo is great but us hardcore users (in quite a different area) shifted to multiple coats of Gorilla Glue thinned with xylene.
I don't have any to hand (the xylene) and wonder what it would do to the tyre casing.
I had a puncture on a sportive a few years ago that wouldn’t seal, stopped at feed station and mechanic used superglue, left it to dry and I finished the event no problem. I’ve been using it ever since and it works 👍 on my Pro One’s !!!
