MichH Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Are any goats involved? Just kidding, been reading Fatcyclist's (www.fatcyclist.com) plan to beat Lance! Erm, you still have to explain though!
dirtrider Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Nope have not tried any of those fix your own sidewall trick before . Maybe I just full of S@@#t but I think it will upset the balance of my tyres . Who needs to explain what Mich ?
rock Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Have you tried the dental floss' date=' super glue and patch trick yet?[/quote'] I used a glue gun on a Tioga Psycho K one time........worked fine. back in the day when I wanted to be John Tomac.
MichH Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 There is just no ways you can go over a thorn bush with tubes in ur tyres !!! On every ride DR?! OK, what the heck is the sidewall fixit trick?
TitusTi Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 You glue the cut together with the super glue, sow it with the dental floss and then put a decent size patch on the inside. Don't do this with Hutchinson tyres though.
dirtrider Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Serious ! Even after last Thursdays nigh ride . Next morning when got into bike room rear was flat .
TitusTi Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I think permatubes might be nicer to ride than that combo!
dirtrider Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 ja but you failed to mention that you have only been on ur MTB bout 2 times during that period !
slowpoke Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 i'm with scotty on this one.. had the liners and slime when i did an AR in clarens that saw me pulling about 16 over-3cm-long thorns outta my tyres and all i had to do wa pump the tyres a little and that was it... as far as i know amateur's mom is still riding on those same tubes, liners and tyres!!!!!
MWdeJager Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 So why are you using slime and liners? I use liners only. If I put slime in, should I not be able to get rid of the liners?
scotty Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Not for the weight weenies but the liners help prevent some of the smaller intruders, however some still get thru and are nuked by the slime.
GoLefty!! Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 TYRELINER CAUSE more hassle than they're worst,but each to his own
