RollandBounce Posted November 4, 2011 Share I just lost a brand new ust tyre due to a nail...went in the tread and out the sidewall- the tread repair is easy - normal worms.. But the sidewall "cut/hole" is about 5mm in diameter - anyone with advice how to repair- want to use the tyre still for training - especially since it is a new tyre..

Vinnydabutcher Posted November 4, 2011 Share Hook an old school patch on the inside. That`ll hold it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted November 4, 2011 Share Patch it from the inside with a normal patch that you would use on a tube (or maybe a small piece of rubber cut out from an old tube) and then run it with a tube just to be safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys sew the hole closed with dental floss. You could also patch it from the inside with a gator I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollandBounce Posted November 4, 2011 Share "lost some strengt" in the tyre due to hole -tried one of those "glueless" patches, but pressure pushed it out- maybe will try a "traditional" patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted November 4, 2011 Share Ok, that looks like a proper amount of damage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollandBounce Posted November 4, 2011 Share Jip, not cool.. And not keen on putting a tube in Edited November 4, 2011 by RollandBounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numbnuts Posted November 4, 2011 Share I use waxed tread used for leather work and leather work needles to stitch up the hole. Then I patch the inside over the stitch work. And all done. You can even start making your own leather gimp suit kinky stuff. In silverton there is a leather supplier (leatherrite) for all your leather needs.

RollandBounce Posted November 4, 2011 Share Seems stiching and a patch is the best way forward.. now to get someone who can do proper needlework Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
