Can any flat tyre be repaired? |
I bought a new bike, did only half a mile, then i pumped the tyres because they were a bit flat, i do not know if i overdid it, but the front tyre is now completely flat, i had a look and there like an half inch cut in the tyre, what do i do? Replace the tire no matter what. good tires are important. Worn or cut tires are just asking for more flats. If the cut is that large, a temporary fix would be to put a patch on the inside of the tire and then cover it with duct tape (the duct tape will prevent the patch from stretching and poking out the cut when the tube is inflated). But it is only temporary, the tire should be replaced. If the tyre was fully inflated when you left the store, the cut happened after and you need to replace the tyre and tube at your cost, if it wasn,t fully inflated, you should have noticed it right away as the bike wouldn,t have ridden very well. Depends upon the type of tyre and where the tyre is split. Yes, it depends on when the tire got cut, in store or out. My sneaking suspicion is that it happened during unpacking at the shop...but that's just me. Damaged tyres are a potential safety issue- forget about even trying to repair it and buy a new one. just buy a new tire it is a safty issue New Tyre time - sorry. take the bike back could be a faulty tire? |
