Holts Tyreweld with tubed tyres?

[B1N]

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

On the screwfix site it says tubeless only, I have seen similar products suggest you can use in tubes too, it will mean new tube rather than patch mot likely.

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.

You can put it in a tube. its hit and miss as whether or not it will fix your puncture though.

Chances of fixing a flat with a tube is much lower than tubeless. I used that green slime (not that brand just similar) flat preventative with good success in go-carts with tubes I was getting a lot of flats before using it and none after. The other thing was they never needed air added they just keep their pressure.

I used to carry a small can of tyreweld (or Aldi's equivalent) when I had tubed tyres.

It does work, as long as it's only a small puncture hole. It got me out of trouble on a couple of occasions (one thorn, one screw), and only once did it fail me - when it turned out the tube had a huge split.


(Now I have tubeless tyres I carry strings)

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.

Also lots of soap, you can wipe it off once the bead's over.

I used this stuff, it would have probably been a bit easier with fairy liquid but I wanted to use something that would evaporate away without leaving moisture in there.

Also a rubber mallet to wallop the bead right into the centre of the rim when prizing away with the tyre levers is handy too, the Avon Roadrider is a substantial piece of rubber.

Do you think Marquez uses Tyreweld? There is maybe a reason for this. Personally I wouldn't trust it anymore than getting home.

Tyre weld is shite.

A tyre sealant works better.

Tyre sealant work fine in tubed tyres.

There was an issue year's ago where sealant tamperfered with patch adhesive so old repairs would fail after sealant was added for a new repair.

I think that incompatibility has been addressed by thesealant manufacturer's boffins.

Tyre weld is a very different compound compared to Tyre sealants.

Ultraseal and puncturesafe are sealants.

Tyre Fitting Fannies cry a lot about sealant and not being able to stick patches on tyres that had sealant added.

Redundant problem as you don't need patches if there is sealant added.

Any hole sealant doesn't fix is a non repairable hole anyway and shouldn't be fixed.

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.
