B22 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 Have a truck tire repair place near by? Yeah I do, about 20 minutes away Quote
B22 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 Can try something like this. http://trekstorecincinnati.com/product/park-tool-vulcanizing-patch-kit-8326.htm?gclid=CjwKEAjwsMu5BRD7t57R1P2HwBgSJABrtj-RkuI4wMAqIcAPC4r1n-xCI_MEyj0HUAWNuXA_vFEFHBoCERjw_wcB Hmm, do you think that would hold up? I might give it a try. Quote
B22 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 No clue. If you do it right, don't see why it wouldnt. Fuck it, I'll go pick one of those up tomorrow and give it a try. I'm sure they sell them at Autozone or Advance. Quote
B22 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Posted May 12, 2016 Is there anything I could put in the cut on the outside to maybe try to fill in the fucked up spots? Maybe epoxy or something? I did a little research but couldn't really find anything on this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
RagunCajun Posted May 12, 2016 Report Posted May 12, 2016 Buy a new tire. Patches don't hold well where the rubber will flex or bounce. Atv tires don't have steel belts so there's no way I'd trust that and have that end a days or weeks riding waiting in a replacement tire. Quote
B22 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 Mounted them today. I patched the tire and put Shoe-Goo in the outside cut of the tire. Rode around a little today and it looks like it's gonna be fine. I read that shoe-goo has been used for patching tires with cuts on the tread of tires, just to fill the cracks (not to actually seal a hole). It actually hardened up and got between the cut good. I just wanted something between the patch to fill the crack, so I'll monitor it to make sure it's gonna stay there. It's held 10 pounds all day. Just not sure what's gonna happen if the tire wrinkles when I drop the pressure a little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
B22 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) That's what they both look like mounted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 15, 2016 by B22 1 Quote
locogato11283 Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 Too wide. Flip the wheels around. It'll launch straighter. Quote
B22 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 They're flipped the right way, I had to use a different set of rims. Pretty sure these are offset. But they're wider the other way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
trickedcarbine Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 No, flip them so the offset is inside so the bike is narrower. Quote
B22 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) No, flip them so the offset is inside so the bike is narrower.The offset is to the inside Otherwise it would be about 2 inches wider on each side. I haven't fucked with the hubs at all though. Edited May 15, 2016 by B22 Quote
trickedcarbine Posted May 15, 2016 Report Posted May 15, 2016 Hubs will help a touch if you're not in to the idea of new wheels and an axle. Quote
