sliced tires

its like a 5/8 inch cut nothing huge but i dont know if my tube will
start to squeeze out of it causing unnescessary flats. i think im gonna
use and old innertube and glue in inside the tire over the hole, or
somthin??

ductape solves everything. just put a little on the inside between the
tube and the tire.

Gorilla/super/crazy glue may also work. Really lather it on, and it
probably will stay secure.

Eventualy the hole will get big, but for now ducttape on the inside like
was stated earler and part of an old tube or some of that thorn
resistent tape. good luck, how old is it buy a new one and rturn the
old one. 😄

There's no glue that will hold a sliced tire sidewall, let alone Crazy
Glue, which does not fill gaps at all.

What you need is a tire boot; an old piece of tire sidewall you can
affix to the inside of your tire.

You definitely need to fix it, otherwise you'll keep blowing out tubes
as they get pinched in that hole.

Or you could ignore it and hope it goes away...

It won't help, but y'know... you won't be worried about it.

How about gluing a small piece of old tube to the inside of the tire
with that rubber cement that comes in puncture repair kits? That could
work.. it could also do nothing, but worth a try...right?

this is correct. duct tape is a roadside fix, not a long term solution.
break down, spend the cash and buy a new tire. you don't really have
much choice if you want to avoid frequent flats

Rotate your cranks and aslong and you move it so the whole is never over
a flat spot you will be ok.

Ductape wont really solve it. You need to get an old bit of tyre (NOT
innertube) and put that over the hole, then layers of ductape. Make
sure its well smoothed down with tape though, or it will wear a hole in
your innertube eventually.

Hope this helps,

Rock on!

Tom is right. You'll need to use another piece of tire sidewall to
repair the slice. You'll also need a chemical vulcanizing cement to
apply the patch; no matter what glue you use it won't last very long.
A vulcanizing cement or compound will create molecular bonds between
the patch and the tire, creating a much, much stronger seal. You may
be able to find such a compound at your LBS, if not, inquire at an auto
tire merchant.

Yeah, fix it first, if you do a good job it will last for the life of
the tread. Do a poor job and it won't. But buy a replacement now
incase it doesn't work, that way you won't have to wait for it to come.
