Help please
After my humble brag about going tubeless I have hit a snag.
My Nano 40c had an existing nick which I fixed with an anchovy. The repair worked fine at 40 psi for a 60 mile towpath ride. However last night I blew upto 60psi for a road commute today only to find this morning the repair has failed and my tyre was flat soft and sitting in a pool of Stans
Any ideas what I can do other than run at 40psi!
thanks
Shove in another anchovy next to it 😂
40 and 60psi?!? Is this an MTB?! I typically run at 20-25...
For such a pressure worm might not work.
I would patch tyre properly from inside.
Cheers!
I.
Thanks for responses and sorry i should have said gravelly, adventure cross type bike (Arkose)
What do you patch tyres with? Do you need to clean out the Stans
Thanks
Motorbike mushrooms from ebay
Some folk advocate stitching the tyre with fishing line then patching.
I didn't bother and put one of these emergency patches on last season.
The tyre is still holding air. I cleaned the surface first.
Automotive plug patch fitted from the inside.
thanks guys mushrooms on the way
What size mushrooms do people buy (and how do you use the things?)
6mm. Rough the inside of the tyre. Vulcanising solution on face of patch and in roughed area of tyre. Let both dry fully. Pull through with pliers and press firmly.
You might want to enlarge the hole slightly and make it rounder with a rasp, file or drill bit.
and then trim off the wire? Are they good to use on sidewalls as well as main tread?
