Darn. And I was hoping that at least the mechanized side of the sport
still had some sense of function ahead of form.

clean with CHO isopropyl from the drug store-wal has a 90% solution -
fill with GOOP - press in with water bottle rectangle -
i have a tube of household GOOP that's excellent over the outdoors or
marine GOOP but who knows where that goes right?

Its the trash in the sand like glass,nails,
wire.staples,road flare spikes,not the tire. I had a pretty good winter
since the lack of snow leads to less trash sand leads to less flats.

??? The motorcycle industry is almost as nerdy as the bicycle industry.
Carbon fiber this, that, and the other. Granted, it's far more expensive,
but...

Some colored-tread tires.

Back when they were first released, I read that they were old tire casings
re-treaded with the colored stuff. The mags said that the grip was just as
good as black carbon... and nobody cries payola... *sigh*.

We should simply recommend them to slit the sidewall of their tires so they
have to throw them away.

Come on Jobst - admit you want a set of these tires:

I have seen several "Celeste Verde" Bianchi bicycles with matching
colored tires. Yuk!

more-homedepot has a lexan or polycarbonate glue in the lexan
area-this is a relatively new glue and is useful for what else?
inquiry to 3M or Loctite information on filling tread/carcass holes
with glue may provide more information...

the Adhesive Sourcebook - LT-3355

see the application notes box on the left - polyurethane has no app
notes??

today the cafe group - back from killing animals - tells me that polyur
works gud on rubbah!?

one advanced thought level - the patch seperates from the tread as the
carcass and tread flex at different speeds - examine patch(s) after
30-100 miles and there should be a gap between tread and patch
fill the gap! and resurface - cleaning grit from gap first off course
butbutbutbut howabout a two compound patch - one adhesive to bond to
carcass as the main patch - then another adhesive to bond to tread then
to first patch material at the gap
or a two strata patch using different adhesives
or...

a new tire can hole straight thru at 3mm diameter
