Superglue works ok, but Shoe Goo, being more flexible, seems to work better, at least for me. |

Re: Can't keep replacing tire
I've used a set of Michelin Krylions and a set (or two of Carbons - the model before it) with great success. I got 5500kms at least out of the rear tyres. I have Carbons on my race bike(20mm ones) and they're well into their second season.
The other Michelins I have are Megiums. My previous Megiums I got 8500kms from the back one - I was very surprised on that. I range from 69 - 72 kgs and ride/race on coarse grit(mainly) roads. So - I'm very happy with Michelins  If I had that last cut of yours - I would patch it inside with a thin section from the side of an old tyre and keep using it. |

I'm more of a sprinter than a climber weight wise. In the dry the gatorskins are great - bulletproof. But I'm not sure about the wet - it could be my imagination but it appears to cut/slash too easily when it is wet and it is a heap more slipery than the old armadillos. Then again the armadillos didn't do as many miles as one would like. -Matt

Personally, I use Specialized AllCondition Armadillo Elite and Specialized Mondo Pro and have not had any issues with either. Tough to go through what you do did, but I'd suck it up and buy another tire before using one with integrity issues. Last thing you want is a blowout in a corner. |
