Jonkie Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Hi guys. Does anyone know if its possible to repair a tubeless road tyre that has a hole in the middle of the tyre surface? The hole was obviously to big for the sealant to work. Its an expensive tyre so before throwing away thought I'd check? Patch it with rubber/plastic epoxy (buy it from Brights, two tubes that mix. Same stuff they use to repair car dashboards). Lightly sand the area around the hole on the inside of the tyre, clean with alcohol swap and then apply the mix. I have repaired two road tubeless tyres and did about 2500 kms with them. This stuff is great to fix small cuts on the outside of tyres as well.
arendoog Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I want to get myself a set of Continental Gatorskins road tyres .I weigh 100kg and would like some advice as to the width I should consider buying and the tyre pressures
Ryan Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I want to get myself a set of Continental Gatorskins road tyres .I weigh 100kg and would like some advice as to the width I should consider buying and the tyre pressuresI use 25mm Gatorskins and run at 80 psi front and 100 psi rear and I weigh 96kg. I find that comfortable.
fanievb Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 not really sure where to put thissaw it on cyclingnewsOne handy trick from a Tinkoff mechanic. Use a dental pick and some quality super glue to fill in those tyre cuts http://cdn.media.cyclingnews.com/2016/01/28/1/random_worldtour_cycling_tech_14_670.jpg
PietSw Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Just went to 25mm tires from 23mm.. They are WAY more comfortable... and apparently the rolling resistance should be less... Rolling Resistance? What is that ? http://sciencelearn.org.nz/Science-Stories/Cycling-Aerodynamics/Sci-Media/Video/What-is-rolling-resistance
