| Oct 7, 2015 at 3:04 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | Certainly with tubeless auto tires it's not uncommon to patch the inside of the tire, in a fashion almost identical to patching a tube. (But of course, most auto tires aren't filled with glop.) | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 17:46 | comment | added | DWGKNZ | As most are also suggesting the best trailside fix to get you home is a tyre boot and tube. At home a proper clean up of the area, removing all the sealant and an old school rubber puncture repair patch (vulcanizing fluid and all). Some people believe in super gluing the hole back together before patching, I've done both ways and not seen any difference. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 14:40 | comment | added | Batman | I'm always a bit skeptical of those things (note that the tire boot park tool sells is temporary, despite people using them for far beyond temporary). Normally, I'd just get a new tire, but that can get expensive. Completely YMMV, though. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 12:48 | comment | added | Phil | @Batman I always carry a tube with me just in case I slash the tyre to hell out on the trail. I just re-inflated it to avoid getting the tube out. That article is excellent, the cut in mine doesn't look anywhere near as bad as the penknife one in their demo so I guess it should be fine. I'll keep you posted. | |
| Oct 6, 2015 at 12:39 | comment | added | Batman | Pink bike did an article on this a few years ago. Their suggestion was a radial tire (i.e. car) patch on the inside provided the cut was a half inch or more above the bead (else, throw it out). Basically the same idea as patching a tube. Not sure what you can do on the trail for a cut tubeless tire though, other than put a tire boot and a tube. | |
