ScottCM Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 If you hit a puncture that does not seal, pop a plug in and if you are quick enough you wont even have to add pressure. else a quick pomp should solve it. I have a plug in a tyre that has been there for 2000 km. No worries. thanks, i shall most definately be getting a plug kit for the future.
Wallee Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah i toke it back to reitvlei's cycle hub as they were the one's who put it on for me and Graham was kind enough to put a plug in for me. Its all sealed now again, still not nice have a plug in the center of a tyre thats only done 37km on, but that how life goes i guess. If you don't like the idea/look of a plug in your new tyre you can patch the hole from the inside using a patch cut from the sidewall of one of your old tube type tyres and contact glue. Just make sure you clean off all the sealant properly before glueing.
