Flat tire...
-
Just ran over this tiny shard
Anyone have experience with a flat? I noticed the tire sealant coming out... But I'm not sure how strong that is.
-
@braswell Maybe try letting it sit overnight so the sealant can dry then try to inflate it tomorrow? The sealant should fix it if it's as good as they claim.
-
Let us know how it goes..
-
I've left it alone for the past two days now, still no sign of the tire slime drying up, I filled it up both nights and the hole barely lets the air out, I see the slime or whatever it is bubbling out ever so slightly by the morning. Unfortunately its always wet and doesn't seem to be drying.
Kinda disappointed such a small piece of glass did this.
Since it's a really small hole my next attempt is to use a bike tire patch kit OR is that just a waste of time? I honestly just don't wanna send it out for $100 at this point.
-
@braswell had the same a long time ago and no particulary issue...
-
@fabuz you used a tire patch in the past?
-
Tire patch goes on the inside so that's going to be tough.
-
@jeffmccosker I was thinking those thin strips meant for bike tubes haha just slap it on with some rubber cement and call it a day. Gunna give it a try, keep y'all posted
-
Just use a tire patch kit for cars.. :)
-
@braswell no pacth man,haven't done anything....the tire wasn't flat!
-
Something like this..
Watch some youtube on it..Or take it to a tire shop, they can patch it.. :)
-
@parrothd would this line up flush or leave a nub out? I'm watching videos but only see It being on tires with tread.
-
Just cut it flush..
-
Just take it to a tire shop or even a bicycle shop and ask them to plug it..
-
@parrothd managed to successfully clog it with a fresh can of slime :)
-
@braswell Sweet!
-
@braswell Nice I was wondering if that might help.
-
@braswell
So to make sure I understand:You put a new can of slime inside the tire and this one dried and hole is fixed?
-
@Polle yes, whatever was inside the tire as standard did not work. Left it for 3 days, rotating here and there, filling up here and there and no luck.
I bought a can of tire slim and it worked within 15 minutes
-
So is green slime still holding up well? Is it the green slime tire filler?
That's great news if it's working!
