puntured tyre

[james bomb]

hi

 

was on bridgestone 020 for 3 years and nothing happens

changed to conti sports attack for 1 week and kena punctured by nail (maybe conti tyre not so tough),

so went to repair the puncture but the tyre still leaking like every 2 weeks its almost completely deflated

 

my question is, is this normal for a punctured tyre or the guy did not do a good job??

 

 

thanks

[bert]

not a good job done...

[Guest quizesilver]

ya

it is either the hole too wide to be patch (but u mention it is a nail) so it cannot be.

 

advise u to patch from inside.

[paithorn]

might have multiple punctures....check again!

[mamat07]

mayb u can go back to the shop that u do the repair to check again for any leakages..

Might be the tyre valve which is causing the leaks

Hi Fren,i guess as much tat not a gd job done.i hv the same experience last time on my RVF and hit a nail at the rear.The bugger mechanic did a fxxxup job and damaged my relatively new tyre.Keep having to pump the deflated rear tyre.He did a bad patchwork.Hv to change a new tyre and $ wasted..

[GreeKo]

happen to me once....chances are the glue on ur tyre sidewall n rim have gave way since u mention it almost go flat, riding on under-inflated tyre wd add pressure on the sidewall especially when cornering....

 

check for additional punture on r tyre and leaking air ard sidewall/rim contact...

I got nails on mie rear tyre BT020 last week...(still riding wit it ..heee) goin HKL to remove it n patch it up.. tink cost $6

[james bomb]

went to 3 tyre shops,

all say must change new tyre because there were 2 holes next to each other so cannot repair, what a pity 1 month old only the tyre.....

it is because those bike shops dun do inner patch... if you have done inner patch in the first place... there will not be such a problem....

i have done inner patch at motor world twice.... dunno any other shops doing it... maybe other bro here can advise..

[Guest quizesilver]

k&t also has it.

[GreeKo]

btw...wats this inner patch thing? Is it those gel like liquid tat will be fill inside the tyre n ooze out, harden n seal the hole when the nail being pulled out?

[William Tan]

Always remember, patches are but a temporary measure...

Best advice is to change the tire as soon as possible, especially before going for long trips.

 

You won't want the tire to suddenly deflate when going at reasonably high speeds.

is a piece of "gao yao" stick from the inside of the tire... need to remove the tire from the rim.. therefore more ex....

My 020 also had a nail on the edge of the tyre whil I was cornering... Sent for patch and they used those black mushroom head rubber patch. After bout a month, it started to leak again. I then went to buy the tyre repair kit, Stanley/Selley's (can't remember) and I patched it back myself. Been running on my patched up tyre for bout 2 weeks now and it seems okie... Sprayed soapy water and no bubbles seen. Used the normal brown worm-like patch.

i also use tyre repair kit which bought at mustafa which look like normal brown worm. it been since nearly 2mth ? nothing happened to it yet .so far so gd

am using the same one u mentioned. .cheap and good ....

 

the last tyre i had was a dunlop ...there was a worm in place of a puntured hole but it was still leaking ,...so i punctured it again and patch it using the kit i bought from mustafa. ...works great and cheap..

 

now everytime i go up north, my trust tyre repair kit will be with me ..simple and easy to use...idiot proof instructions at the back somemore ...

[Guest quizesilver]

knt has it again
