Ripping down the DH section of Innerleithen the other night and a rock with attitude ripped a hole in my sidewall spewing Stans all over the place. Rode on it the next day with a tube in and a patch on the hole so try stop it ripping further and it held up to a mincing down GT.
Whats the verdict? will it hold until I've worn the tyre out or could it rip open at any moment letting the tube out in a comedy sort of way?
Hole is about 3 - 4mm long
get in touch with just riding along and get a tubeless repair kit.
works really well, it's what i've done on a swampthing and a highroller.
mine are as good as new now.
are you doing the Rivvy run on Sunday?
Hi Vortex, I should be at Rivi but after lots of miles in Scotland yesterday and the day before my legs are still a bit tired...
You could always do 1/2 the route.
if you are going i'll bring the repair kit with me and you can use it.
I'll be there Vortex, cheers.
can you bring the RIMS then please ?
I will be up with Mr Vortex ( I call everyone by there forum name in the real world) so should be able to do sort easily
No problem Junkyard. How much did we agree on?
Repair it. Sew with dental floss (its stronger than thread)
I think it was £2.50 what with the credit crunch and everything 🙂
We did not agree a price actually DOH I think they were listed at £17.50 posted (can double check via your profile if you want so say £15 collected OK?
old roadie tyre cut to shape, super glue to the inside. Job's a good un.
