Is my Smoke smok’d?

[Dossa]

Huge rear wheel blowout the other day thanks to a massive nail which went through the tread and out the sidewall...

Three week old Brand New tyre as well...Grrrr

A goner or will the duct tape be sufficient?

Thanks all - stay safe!









Cheers
Matty

Re:

Gaffer tape will only take you so far.
But you can buy rigid rubber patches which you can put on the inside with some vulcanising solution - TipTop do them.
That works in perpetuity....

Copydex and the leg of an old pair of jeans. 1980's puncture protection also reinforces damaged sidewalls.

Re:

Cheers, that’s a Top Tip (so to speak...!)

Re:

What about the car tyre patches? Might they be stronger?

Re:

Gaffer tape, puncture repair patch, piece of old inner tube stuck in place, all have worked for me on Mtb tyre sidewalls.

Gorilla Tape - Black...

There is an atricle on youtube about first stitching (with a H/D leather needle and waxed natural linen thread) and then patch the back side up too and be as good as new. You might get away with just a large patch imo, tears grow but this may not as not that bad...
