[RBW] Re: would you ride this tire?

2025-09-19 Thread ascpgh 
Age and experience help draw a clear line between fixing a problem that 
happens out on a ride so you can get home and the one you know about and 
work around as a challenge before leaving home. 

I've done both in the past, but I have also upped my on-bike contingent 
supplies and my pre-ride inspections to better my risk exposure. 

I've done well to have the sum of injuries that I do, and my activities not 
be limited by them. I am interested in limiting others if I can prevent 
them.

I’d ride it on the rear and I’d repair it a bit. Maybe a patch on the
inside. I’d also think about riding a TPU tube. You can fill the slash in
with some cement (I use shoe goo), which will prevent something else from
puncturing that vulnerable spot. I patched a hole on a rear tire that had a
hole in it and rode it for another two years. Would I ride it up front? No.

andy, it was your posts on the board that inspired me to shoe my 
rambouillet with these tires in the first place!  and i appreciate your 
perspective.  why risk it!l  the price to pay for a blowout would be far 
higher than the cost of a new tire.

I tried to boot a similar cut on a Grand Bois 32, using a Park boot. The 
tube bulged out. I wanted to save the tire. I think I could have made quite 
a few miles but I consider it to be only as necessary.

it's a 32mm rene herse extra light casing with three small slashes in the 
sidewall.  i'm on the fence as to if it's safe or not and curious what 
others might do.

the picture looks weird because i combined two into one, so that anyone 
generous enough to respond to this post only has to click once.

thanks for any input!
