[RBW] Re: cut in sidewall
Hey Kyle, I had the same happen to my Hetres, I called Jan at Compass and he sold me a new tire at his cost. Not the most favorable solution but a solution. ~Hugh On Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 2:23:08 PM UTC-8, KyleBH wrote: > > I have a Grand Bois Cypress tire (700 x 30) with <1000 miles and plenty > of tread life left, but just noticed it has a 1/4" tear in a sidewall.

Re: [RBW] Re: cut in sidewall
I'd give it a try. Put a bunch of glue on both sides of the tire. Move tire to rear as you mentioned and monitor. If it looks good, go for it.

You couldn’t track down a replacement tire on the course?

yeah, also going to put in on the rear, don't need any front blowouts.

[RBW] Re: cut in sidewall
I'd boot it and sew that all together and see how it rides. I've seen that done with touring tires.

[RBW] Re: cut in sidewall
I had zero luck with a boot on my Compass Stampede Pass Extralight. Those are thin sidewalls. It ended my PBP. You may have better luck but if you boot it and want to get back home I'd carry an extra tire for the first couple of rides to be sure it works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
