The Ouzo Posted September 7, 2022 Share 26 minutes ago, NeverNotRolling said: What's your issue with the tyre? lots of small cuts. some are seeping sealant. Plus I want to fix the puncture I got this morning. B.T.W. 1 tiny tube of Loctite Power Flex at Leroy Merlin is R61. This stuff better work.

But for bigger cuts, some stitching with dental floss and a puncture patch always does the trick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fly Posted September 7, 2022 Share For small cuts the sealant should be doing its job. If there are not dozens of cuts remove tyre and patch from the inside. No glue applied from the outside will stop air from leaking. Superglue generally works best on 2 flat-mating, non porous surfaces where air can be excluded. As an aside I've tried it to fix a small cut on my Gatorskin clincher to no avail. I'm guessing silicone is my next best bet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Trip to CycleLab or Similar Will work much Better than Silicone. _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I was particularly looking for the power flex as it has rubber infused and is flexible. Original poster that mentioned it has used it on tyres. I'm not trying to seal the hole from the puncture, merrily reduce the size of the overall opening to give it a little extra strength for the internal patch.

Underachiever Posted September 7, 2022 Share I've used superglue with good effect on tubbies where there is a small cut in the outer surface. Just to prevent sand/grit to work its way into the tyre and cause a possible puncture. For a proper puncture I use vulcanizing glue + a road tube patch on the inside of the tyre.

love2fly Posted September 7, 2022 Share Yip that's what I tried but it didn't adhere. Its crazy to scrap a usesble tyre for just one cut. Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelbiker Posted September 7, 2022 Share Patches and if the hole is big enough, dental floss to sew it closed. Then use a good sealant such as OrangeSeal Enduro. But smaller holes should be sealed by the sealant. If they aren’t, it’s time to try something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted about a repair i did on a MTB tyre that had a sidewall tear . I used shaved rubber from an old tyre mixed that into the super glue and forced it into the tear , i then also put a motor vehicle tube patch on the inside . This was a brand new tyre and it happened on its first ride . The tear never opened , lost air ( i ride tubeless ) and i got 5000 km out of that tyre .
