Subject: How bad can a tear get
|
Repaired my tire with a dime, rubber patch, duck(t) tape, and now it is
popping through again.
Should I put a quarter or nickel in instead. I have a piece of rubber
grips for handle bars I could put in. I just had the pansela for about a
year and i hate to throw it away.
rip is about 1/2". A quarter may cause problems since they are only 1.25"
tires,
100psi.
Anyone with much experience with this problem?
Thank-you
Zen

wake up, dude, the tire is past gone. puncture repairs in the
tread are ok, but once the sidewall is ripped or abraded the tire
is NOT safe. murphy says it will blow when the 18 wheeler is
right behind you.
it's long past time for a new tire, goofus.

Excuse me for trying to save money. you all boast about the 10 K miles you
get with your tires so I thought it was sad.
Hell, I got it going for about a 3/4 of year. So maybe you are the goofus
here.
You do not have to be so rude. I said thank-you long before you showed up
DA.
If you are not here to help people asking questions then what are you doing
here.
Good bye forever

That is just fine. I put a new one on after the second post and I said
thank-you.
When do people catch on? The first response already said that. I did not
need it 10 more times. the second and third were just jokes and then others
spoiled the whole thing. I am no moron so maybe everyone should just read a
little for god's sake.
This is what drives me to drinkin' Then I might think riding after that is
a good I dea Just hope I have guardian angels.
Life is too short.
Cheers

I'm sure not one to point fingers. I spend x hundred dollars on a bike
and then worry about the price of a tire or tube or how to save a few
bucks on chain lube. It is just part of being a cyclist, I guess.

It's already got there. Throw that tyre away and get a new one. All
those tricks for fixing a split tyre are for getting you home or to
the bike shop so you can fit another tyre.

You need to save your dimes, quarters & nickels and buy a new tire. Unless
you really want to find out how good your local EMTs are, that is. It's OK
to plug a very small hole with reinforced fabric (blue jean material, thin
piece of an old tire etc), but large casing ruptures are dangerous. Doesn't
matter how old or new it is; I remember blowing a Clement Criterium Seat
Extra (which would now sell for about $100) to bits on its first ride, just
out of my driveway. Ouch.
