markiemark Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi, I accidently pulled out a repair plug from my rear tubeless tyre and my local tyre repair place tried to fix it with a mushroom repair with a patch over that...but it still leaks near to the puncture!!!!...slowly......the tyre looks in good condition (tread wise) but they say it make be delaminating in the carcass and the air travelling through the carcas to the damaged area..what are peoples viws on .... 1. just keep pumping it up, 2. They offered to put a tube in, 3. try another repair with one of those sticks, or buy another tyre! All advice welcomed...cheers mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Standard dog turd and glue should do it. I ran one for about 6 months last year as I punctured when nearly new. If it's a long slit, then put a couple of dog turds in. I've never had one be any weaker than the original tyre. Make sure you trim the ends down nicely with a stanley knife. I'm sceptical that any tyre place will understand the use of a trials tyre enough to fix the puncture properly. Nobody except us runs a tyre at 4 pounds where the sidewall is constantly flexing and beding. Was this in the wall of the tyre? Surprised that they would try anything at all if it was as they run a risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilertrialler Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I've got to ask I cant be the only person who does not know ....What are Dog turds??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 i agree about the dog turds, i have been able to put 4 of them in to fix a gash as im sure others have too, not worth the effort of putting a tube in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I've got to ask I cant be the only person who does not know ....What are Dog turds??? Tried to find one of the site sponsors with them for sale, but couldn't. They list them as Dog T here Clicky HERE not sure if they have another name, I'm sure they probably do, but i don't know it. This is the standard way of repairing a tubeless trials tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldcake Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Green slime, is this any good for rear tubeless? Don't hear much talk of this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4it Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 The slime does not work very well in the trials tyres as they run such low preasures,also if the puncture is a largish slit then no way.Use turds they fix nearly every puncture hassle free!
