Rich.Carbon Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Anybody out there in WC that can repair tubbys?
Twombles Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I actually saw this yesterday: http://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/vehicles/cycles/patchnride/ Supposedly it works for tubbies and clinchers; I doubt it though.
Twombles Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Here is their website. I see it is not available yet: https://patchnride.com/ This probably does not help you in any way, sorry for the hi-jack
Skinnyone Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I can do it but for the time it takes the labour cost alone is prohibitive...you have to locate more or less where the hole is, undo the protective layer of tape, carefully unstitch the casing and patch the tube, then re-stitch the casing and re glue the protective tape on there...about a 2 hour job to do properly...
Johan Bornman Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Like Skinny says, it time-consuming. This is best done as a labour of love by yourself. It really isn't difficult. Just choose a night when there's junk on TV (you should have a choice of about 160 days of that for the remainder of the year) and do it.You need a sharp hobby knife, some strong thread and needle, a thimble, patch and solution. openmind 1
American Flyers Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Just add stans or slime in it... No problem! . Big cut - throw it away. I only buy cheap tubbies and carry spare one with me while I ride... Edited June 20, 2014 by American Flyers
