MJS Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 I noticed yesterday that I have picked up a nail in one of my rear CR500's. I believe puncture repairs are now not legal, so what's the alternative - a tube? Cheers, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shn7 Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 My local tyre shop does repairs. I think that it's only a problem if the damage is near the sidewall. If it's in the main tread it should be no problem. Doesn't require the use of a tube. Just my experience. Regards Steve Newman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Yep. Tubeless repair every time, as long as it's not in the sidewall. Most places won't fit a (nother) tubeless patch to a tyre that already has 2 in it, otherwise, it should be fit and forget........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simos Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 I think it's the other way around, inner tubes are illegal (in tubeless tyres), but repairs are. I've had repairs done within the last 6 mths. Sidewall damage has always been a no-no. Take it to your local reputable tyre dude who'll tell you what he'll repair and what he won't, they can repair stuff you'd write off and cut up in front of you tyres you think have trivial damage.
