Can this tyre be rescued?
« on: 20 February, 2021, 05:52:43 pm »
A while back I had a flint p*ncture which disrupted the inner tyre casing (PaselaPT 32mm) with a few mm width.  I had a couple of recurrent p*unctures, until I twigged the rough edges on the inner surface of the tyre were rubbing through the inner tube.  I patched the inner surface & superglued the outer tread.  Today 100metres down the road, bang (impressive). Back to fit new tyre (which fortunately I had on the shelf).  Hole in the casing patch & superglue hadn't held.

Anything else I can do for a secure fix?

An actual tyre boot?
Do not clench. It only makes it worse.

Thanks both.

An actual tyre boot?

yes, could try that.  I have some thin plastic tyre boot material in repair kit I could use - maybe duct tape in place.

Or could try a toothpaste tape? Cut it to size, and duct tape to hold it in place.

Thanks.  Just finished a tube of toothpaste today - so it must be a sign this is the way to go.   ;D

Many tyre boots eventually rub through the tube, particularly if they are too stiff/ thick, hence ‘emergency tyre boot’.

The Tip Top TT05 repair kit contains a tyre repair patch (blue edged) that is flexible but doesn’t stretch like a tube patch does. https://www.3peakscycles.com/products/rema-tip-top-tt05-mtb-puncture-repair-kit

Tyre boots:

An inner tube patch won't work as a tyre boot.

The best material for making a boot is the casing from a tubular or "open tubular" because the casing is thin and supple and the tread can be peeled off.

Thanks all.

I see (from links) that I had a similar issue back in 2017, where I used a thick nylon fabric patch - not sure how long it lasted.
