DBK Posted November 21, 2012 Share What do you think? I realize that the cut is pretty deep, but the tyres are brand new, only ridden about 150km. Other than this cut, these Schwalbe Ultremos are 100% brand new. Is it risky to ride it because of the cut?

Wil6 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Agree with Iron, if the tube does not make a bubble trough the cut ride it until it does.Just for safety patch the tire on the inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyMartin Posted November 22, 2012 Share Rideable sure but would I haul down Hekpoort over the speed bumps at 80 with that cut in my tyre? Hell no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchi Posted November 22, 2012 Share Superglue inside the cut. Sand down that cut ever so slightly, whack a load of rubber cement inside, then sand that lightly when it's done.Put a tyre boot on the inside to ensure nothing that gets into the cut goes into your tube. (almost) good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetseun Posted November 22, 2012 Share I have fixed a couple of those before. To date the best remedy I have found is... Take a 2l coke bottle. You will notice that the contour of the bottle enables you to cut a patch size piece of the plastic out that perfectly fits the shape of the tyre. Super glue or better still contact adhesive it into place. Inflate and problem is gone. There is also no risk of a sharp object cutting the tube through the hole. One day when you trash that tyre you will discover the plastic patch inside and remember this easy diy fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
