Title: Nail in tire
Post by: He Man on November 14, 2009, 02:25:19 PM
got a nail in the tire. Its a wood nail (about 2mm thin) should i patch from inside or from outside?

i broke the bead already, but i dont have any rim protectors (or anything to make it out of..im very close to trashing my neighbors recycling bag to get some plastic canisters to cut up though....bleech bottles or cooking oil bottles???)

edit; the glue is bad. wont cure. :/ that's what you get for 2.99 autozone crap! friends coming over with a proper kit to do it good

Last time I got a nail I plugged it with a mushroom head type plug to get home then I plugged it from the inside as well. I beat the hell out of that tire for another 2500 miles with no problem.

Edit: I mean I patched it from the inside, over the plug.
