Is this hole in my rear tire fixable?
(lemmy.world)
I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit?
I'm not taking this bike past 90mph, so any fix doesn't need to be capable of withstanding incredibly high stress. But I don't want to be unsafe, either. Thanks for the help.
My general rule with my bike... Any sign of a hole is not worth the risk. Is it fixable? Maybe? Is the risk worth the cost of replacement, for myself and my family... Absolutely not.
That said, take it to a shop and get the word from an expert. Don't trust your life to the opinions of the Internet based off of a picture of your tire.
