Sven, Gomez and JK really will be back next week with the Weekly Dose of Fat Radio Show Episode #102!
Finally, look for a new Fat Camp Podcast episode later today!
Remove sticks
,clean inside of affected area,cut old inertube 2″x2″ rubber cement to inside of tube ,fill exterior opening with flexible epoxy,cross fingers. Or buy new tire and skip lunch for a week
Pull the tire and take it to a car tire repair shop. They can patch it just like a car tire.
Thoroughly stitch the hole closed with dual duty nylon thread for buttons and upholstery. Rubber cement over the stitches. Glue a large radial tire patch in place and let it cure completely. Re-mount, add Stans fluid, and ride it. This technique has worked for me on about 8 different repairs to large sidewall cuts. When sewing the hole/cut closed, you can also glue and stitch a small piece of an old sidewall for reinforcement, but it needs to be very thin so it does not interfere with gluing the radial tire patch over the repair. Its worked great for me and those tires still live today!
Fold dollar bill 2x
Insert between tube and tire during inflation.
Quick n’ dirty.
