Repairing tyres

<< < (2/4) > >>

Tonto:
I wouldn't have thought so unless it's the service center just any garage should have loads just ask if u can have one , I worked in a garage for years we used to have a constant supply of them

BADDH:
Take it to a local tyre shop who carry out licensed repairs mate, they carry out a Vulcanising procedure for punctures that might be the only real way of doing this.. ?

john4130:
bit of superglue on the tear and a patch on the back works ok for a while.

oldschoolace:
Ed it may take a bit of searching but there was a guy at a cycle jumble at Manchester velodrome who was doing just this sort of thing. He had a few repaired sections, one of which looked like someone had knocked a nine inch nail through the sidewall.
If memory serves he was laying on some sort of muslin type fabric and bonding it with a sort of liquid rubber?
I doubt glue alone will be able to prevent the slit opening when the inner tube is inflated

MartyC:
Park Tools do a patch for that Ed...
