What's the Best way to fix this tire?

[askitee]

I am uncertain if should use a Rawhide Tyre Plug or Finelec to fix this, I am out of duct tape.

Bugga! Are you OK? No-one got hurt/anyone else involved??

Dunno 'bout you, but I reckon that looks like it juuuust might be the end of that tire, even if you had more duct tape!?!

[SLICE]

have been contacted about your extended warranty

[EdMat]

Thought you always carried a can of fixaflat with you. Would have saved the rollback cost.

[Navydad]

Sorry, but the only option here is to put an inner tube in the tire.

That tire could possibly see high speeds again, recycled into a box of rubber bullets!

[ARtraveler]

No one has mentioned ride on.

Me, I would get a couple new fronts and let the bugger go. Otherwise, you may have an uneven ride with the fix measures mentioned above.

[K80Shooter]

Fill it with foam and never look back.

Boil a box of Quaker Oats, add 1 & 1/3 lbs. of Grandma's Texas Honey, then stir together until well-mixed, and finally, blend in about six ounces of heated Elmer's New and Improved White Glue as a curing agent. Remove the valve-core to pump all the mixture into the tyre, then replace core tightly before refilling with the appropriate amount of air. However, beware that this might still leave a slow-leak condition, requiring you to re-check and adjust the pressure a bit more often... probably about every 13 seconds or so ought to do it. This short interval can be significantly improved by refilling the tyre with thick air* instead of thin air, but that's a little harder to find. Good Luck, mate!

( * This thick air is now used by our government for creating our money, since they created so much out of thin air that the supply ran out. Now they must rely on thick air for money creation, and thus hold quite a monopoly on the limited supply.)

Off topic, but does the thick air money have move value than the thin air money?

It started as the perfect ride with some favourite mates in perfect weather on mostly awesome roads and ended this way. No injuries.

Clipped a rock, and everything felt ok, so I dropped back to 80km/h and after a while noticed the steering pulling to the left. Tyre leaking via a hole in the sidewall. Stopped for a look and as I was in the middle of nowhere decided to creep along between 10 and 20kms/h till I could get reception to call roadside assistance - next minute tyre disintegrated and grabbed a handful of the left front guard locking the wheel. As luck was still on my side I now had phone reception to call roadside assistance. The mates did come back twice to see what happened and I suggested they keep going until I get to town. When the tilt tray truck came, my mates were back and full of compassion - not - eager to get photos for posting on our FB group, contacting other mates so that they too could share in the moment.....

The thing I am most worried about is how long it will take to get new bits.

Thankful for the Roadside Assistance who came and picked up the bike and ferried it home the next day - about 250kms

As an FYI - originally the Roadside Assist provider was only taking the bike to the next town - "Sorry but a flat tyre doesn't qualify for it to be transported to your home town". They did ask that I try to get a replacement tyre and then they'd help further with ferrying me to the tyre service that had one. I explained they are a very rare size.

The Tilt tray driver owned a local tyre service, had never seen a tyre that size and already knew getting one would be diffcult. I rang all the major tyre chains and the replies ranged from "a what size - do they even make a tyre that size?" to "no way buddy and the computer isn't saying where I can get it from, can you wait a couple of days?" This played in my favour as the Roadside Service agreed they needed to take me and the bike home.

Yes, but what about the fender.......?

[askitee]

Yes, but what about the fender.......?

Yes up for one of them too. as well as the wiring harness for the lights etc

[pegasus1300]

Yes, but what about the fender.......?

They are a standard size and can be found anywhere,no big deal there.

Might not have happened if you'd remembered to switch out the summer air for cold winter air. Or better yet, paid extra for nitrogen!

[missouriboy]

Switch out the summer air?? Right here on the cusp of summer, beginning about December 21st?

[AeroPilot]

Like Askitee we were a ways from nearest services when I hit a rock washed onto the road during a downpour in the Arizona mountains west of Show Low. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/...90#post1397990 We were lucky enough to get a flat tow and found the Nanking Tires at the Discount Tire back at Show Low. Thankfully no associated other damage and after another night stay could proceed to Tucson. Another memorable trip on the Spyders.

Jetfixer, I was hoping no one would realise I had missed that - I keep it in a bowl in the garage and just thought "nah won't need it, I'll get the flat tyre next trip"!!!

[BajaRon]

I don't see the problem... I'd run it just the way it is. At the right speed, centrifugal force will take care of the rest!

It's like winter air and summer air
