boofont Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Just wondering what the best way to use dog turds for puncture repairs is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 Prepare the hole with the bumpy awl Work glue onto the hole with same Apply glue to turd Run it in Trim it off. If there's a better way, I'd sure like to know it! You have to be extra careful on the sidewall. The rubber is quite soft, a hole can keep spreading if you jam more plugs in it. I have has as many as 3 plugs in a sidewall, and it held air for the remaining life of the tire...which was several months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 1 - Find hole 2 - Stick your turd pusher through it A - So you don't have to look for it again after you've got the turds out B - So that when you stuff the turd in you shove tend to push to hard & loose the turd in the tyre 3 - Attach turd to pusher, use 2 or 3 if there's a big hole, then shove it in 4 - Insert air 5 - Get back on your bike quick 'cos times tight I actually saw more folk with front punctures in last years SSDT.

stuessenhigh Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I THINK nothing uses it now...but unfortunately whichever turkey imports the tyres here...(even though the riders have told him) he keeps importing the tubeless ones. ANd of ALL the riders here...NO-ONE can get a tubeless front to bead properly..so we all tend to be riding round with front tyres that are only beaded part of the way round!!
