Roons Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 When the wheel is out' date=' put in a spacer, that little bit of forward movement won't make any difference. The only real benefit is to protect the lever in a crash.[/quote'] I thought it gave you something to do on those long open boring roads. It is such fun flicking them back and forth!

No, what's nasty is the bald patch on my head from scratching when I was pondering what that bloody thingy majiggy did. Never worked it out so I upgraded to Shimano.

117 Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Its friday, time to revive the dumb question thread How do I repair a tubeless trye, without using a plug? Can I safely use a tube patch on the inside of the tyre, maybe a bit of patch glue in the hole as well? Or, mushroom it and be done? For context, the plug works fine but the cut/hole is just on the inside of a knobbly bit on the outer edge of the tyre, so every time you go over a rock or hit an object with the outer edges the knob moves/flexes and the plug inches out and/or doesnt seal anymore.

RobertWhitehead Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Mushroom plug Patch from the inside Use more than one plug to fill the hole and reduce movement Use fishing line to close the cut and then patch on the inside Get a new tire on Black Friday Fred van Vlaanderen, TheoG, 117 and 1 other 1 1 2
madmarc Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Use a thicker plug like they use on car and truck tires i have at least one of those thick sherlonkies in my tool bag for just in case
MORNE Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 How does this thread only have 2 pages? Its the title for sure, every forum on earth has a Stupid Question Thread

Eddy Gordo Posted November 25, 2022 Posted November 25, 2022 Stans dart should seal that up. Seen one seal a tiny slit, where a plug also didnt work.
