Subject: [GSAL] Rubber Tire Repair
Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2003 16:46:35 -0700
I have a 4.5" Glennis rim and solid rubber tire on a 6 meter DG which has split (across the tread - from one bead to the other). Does anyone have any recomendations for an adhesive that will allow an effective repair? By effective, I mean if it splits again it will be somewhere else. I'm thinking of GOOP, but in situations like this, it's a one-time attempt.
The problems are: - the tire will have to be stretched back over the rim AFTER the repair - sitting on the rim, the gap averages 0.6" (which is huge - makes me think this the durometer of this rubber is too hard for the amount Glennis is expecting this stretched tire to remain intact - even without centrifugal loading) - I hate like hell to have to purchase a new tire for $30AMER
