Posted: 14:56 - 19 May 2022 Post subject: Holts Tyreweld with tubed tyres? |
|
|
Does anyone know if you can use Holts Tyreweld in inner tubes / tubed tyres?
If so I'll carry a can of it with me.
Zero information on Holts website, doesn't mention you can, doesn't mention you can't.
Also, does anybody have any experience of tubed tyre puncture prevention or other quick roadside aerosol fixes? |

Not used Holts Tyreweld but my son uses Goop in his mountain bike and I've put some in the tubed tyres on my Tiger! ... Does it work? Who knows?

just ordered two bottles of Goop
for my scooter and car which have slightly leaky rims
that go flat over 2/3 weeks
On the demo vid it says "for tubed and tubeless tyres"

hope it sorts my irritating slow leaks out ____________________ bikers smell of wee |

Yes, I ahve used it successfully in a punctured tubed tyre and did another 500 miles on it. It did go soft after a couple fo days but pumped up again. i couldn't find the puncture when I went to repair the tube so I just replaced it . The tyre was full of what looked like water with little shreds of rubber in it.
I now pre-treat my tubes with oko. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

i think a lot of tube punctures are due to the tyre slipping on the rim and ripping the valve out. Nothing will fix this. Not screwing the valvestem nut down against the rim can help prevent it or allow you to notice it's happening in time to do something about it. I always screw the nut up against the valve cap on my trials bike for this reason.
It'll probably seal a wee snakebite puncture or a thorn penetration. |
Yeah deffo. Ive tried 3 times and it failed twice. one was a valve stem tear, the other was a large patch delaminating, the third was a drawing pin. I bet you can guess which one out of 3 was successful. ____________________ own: 81 xs1100g...

Lots of good info there, thanks you lot.
I'm going to get some oko, see how that works for me.
I fitted a new front tyre today, a bit of a wrestling match that was.
I saw a tip on a you tube video which said if fitting a brand new tyre to fit it without the tube first to stretch it a bit without the worry of nipping the tube, it goes on much easier second time, it worked great. |

A quick question about that.
The roadrider doesn't have any sort of marker or dot to show the light or heavy side of the tyre, just a barcode on the bead.
I looked on Avon website, I couldn't find any information there.
Does the Safety Mileage have a barcode on the bead, do you take that to be the heavy or light side?
I've fitted the barcode opposite the valve, now upon balancing it seems very heavy on the valve side, maybe I've got it wrong. |
I'll be honest. I don't bother my arse balancing them and wont unless I notice an issue. I'm fitting them to Indian made spoked wheels, they are barely round, never mind balanced. Anything you fit a safety mileage to is probably not going quickly enough for wheel balance to be much of an issue.
I also have oko in them which I kind of figure will take up a lot of the slack when it comes to balance in the same way as balance beads may or may not. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Motorcycle tyres are hand built from 90% natural products so are inherently out of balance.

I believe car andt truck tyres follow a similar process.
Bike tyres are more expensive compared more specialised and not as many are mass produced. Volumes reduce costs. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |
