Tyre cut repair

[Johnnybee]

Yep, it’s another tubeless post

Yesterday I was out for a ride on my road bike for only the second time on my tubeless setup when the rear tyre deflated pretty quickly covering the bike in tubeless sealant. After stopping twice to add more air the tyre sealed enough to get me home but has lost air overnight.

This morning I had a good look at the tyre and there is a cut just off centre. Could this have a permanent repair? I’ve read of superglue plus I have some tubeless internal tyre patches but I’m not sure if they are a just get you home thing.



PS I love tubeless and have been running it on mountain bikes for years

The mushroom plugs look interesting. I’ve got the normal plugs you use from the outside but I always thought they were a get you home fix rather than permanent. I’ve tried an internal Park Tools repair boot but it wouldn’t stay stuck to the tyre, they are rather old though. I’ve glued the cut for now, used fresh sealant and pumped the tyre up so we’ll see what happens.

This.

Take the tyre off, clean and degrease the area around the cut and patch with a lezyne patch.
I've got 2 of those on my F1s and it's been fine.
