UST Tyre fixie? Deal or No Deal!

[tankslapper]

Just hoked out my Racing Ralph UST's to discover a large gash in one (too big for Stans gunk stuff!)

The question is this:

Can I patch from the inside or is it bin Fodder?

Personally, provided there's still a reasonable amount of tread left, I'd try patching it. My old Cinders had numerous patches holding the sidewall together - think I finally binned it after hole number 4 or 5 appeared!

I assume that you ran them with gunk?

i put a 3/8 of an inch gash in my nobby nic after a spill at bigwood.

thought it was binned.

patched it and its been fine.

I put about a half inch cut in a fat albert in spain, and fresh stans solution to the amazement of all sorted it, and its still A1. But you can get a tubeless patch kit, which I will get round to doing sometime, honest. They have a mesh material to give the sidewall strength and to not just let the patch expand till it pops.
