Patch it on the inside and run a Ridenow ?
I thought it was stitching them with dental floss then booting the inside.
Youâre going to feel any boot thatâs gonna hold that sidewall at road pressure.
Certainly done that on a RunnyArse one of mine. Floss and a patch.
I patched a bigger hole in a runny arse tire that held for the better part of a year. Glued a big piece of tube (with vulcanizing glue) to the inside of the tire.
I ordered irc bokens. If they donât come by Saturday, I might look into Iâll-advised repairs
Kenda has a tire sale with rotating models⌠right now thereâs a 700x32 Small Block 8 for $10:
Need the non rotating if anyone has tips
Used parts place near me has a pair of unused-looking Bontrager XR-Mud Team Issue inâŚ29x2.0. Itâs so weird to 1) see mud tires here in the desert, where we very much have a culture of not riding when itâs sloppy out as it destroys the trails. 2) such a skinny size, which I understand for an XC race tire but stillâŚ
If anyone has a use for these holler, I think they were asking $25 per tire.
I think muds are usually thinner so that the knobs can be longer.
These were supposed to have shipped mid June:
Guess theyâre on the slow boat.
BRR review was pretty good. Best wet grip on the market:
Slightly faster than Challenge Strada Bianca in 36mm, slightly slower than the 32mm GP5000 S TR Iâm running now.
I also think mud tires are skinnier so they can cut through the mud better to get to solid ground.
God I fucking hate bike tire sizing. I bought pirelli 28s for this old steel road bike. They didnât fit (tight fork clearance). I bought IRC 25s to replace them. Stupidly undersized. Caliper says 28s are 29.5 and the 25s are 24. Fuck these bike tire manufacturers.
I got these in 650x42. Theyâre fine, pretty much what one would expect at the weight and tread. I wouldnât say any better than WTB. Theyâre fine. Less nice than the Challenge but feels safer for a utilitarian bike.
When you get a chance could I get an actual measurement on those?
Iâm getting about 47mm on i30 rims. (Pub rims are slightly too wide for use case but idc.)
DQ: Whatâs available to purchase in a 700x38 slick, black sidewalls, not RH/HTLR money?
Strada Bianca (non-pro) or Gravelking slick or something else?
Terreno zero? But you should go with Strada Biancas.
