richt Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Where abouts is the hole? I had one in the middle of the tread and had it repaired with a 'mushroom plug' I would not bother again. Problem is the rubber on the inside is too thin and you can't prepare the surface without exposing the canvase, then the repair patch does'nt stick or seal properly. It leaked but it would stay up for just a day. I think the stripps are a better idea! As you could remove them and replace them when they leak.

ormplus Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 dog **** could last as long as the tyre.you get a pack of five ,we have used the hole five at once and worked.you need the tool for puting them in.remove one strip and put it in the tool,half way up the strip. put it in the tyre half way up, remove the tool and thats it. dont cut of the eccess, just leave it.if not enough add more.hope this helps willie.

smalley250 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Awesome things for long lasting repairs. I find a flat blade screwdriver better than the proper tool as they tend to pull the turd back out plus one less weight to carry on road trials.

chriswms Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Excuse the novice question, Do you have to use any kind of glue when you use them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormplus Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 no you use them sraight from the packet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh014 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ormplus is correct in that you can use them straight from the pack, but I've always coated them with tire patch cement prior to insertion. Just makes a more positive seal and never had one leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
