Sidewall Repair #2

Repair #2 to a ruptured sidewall (below) after it started to bulge through tape applied to attempt #1. Remains of old tube tube wrapped around deflated tire and secured, then tire pumped to operating pressure. Seemed to work a treat too!

Sidewall Repair #1

Apologies for the dodgy focus... cr@ppy camera phone.

Anyhow, repair #1 to a ruptured sidewall (below) - some of the old tube tube folded double inside reinforced with gaffer tape.

Brian's rear tire which I heard explode from a good way down the trail. Oops! Note this is tubeless but he had very skinny tubes inside.

Two attempts to repair:

Sidewall Repair #1 Sidewall Repair #2

Second one clearly the best as there's no attempt #3 Eye-wink

Smiliing Brian

He might be smiling now, but it would be bit a more nervous grin come bottom of this hill. In a close call witnessed by yours truly, Brian here did well not to become as one with the scenery!
