A 4 inch nail is the spoiler of my Saturday! so im gonna repair it tomorrow, what you guys recomend??, i got a stock dunlop tubeless, what is a fool proof way to repair the flat?

[pro-rider46]

well if it is on the sidewall, just replace both of your fronts, its not the safest to repair sidewalls. but if its on the tread part of the tire, if you can pull it off the rim and put a patch on it. patches are easier than plugs, but thats only if you can pull the tire off the rim

yeah luckly is not on the sidewall is on the middle, and is the back tire, seems that im gonna have to take the tire off!:(

say for 15 bucks you can take it to a tire shop and they will do it all for you. thats normally what i do.

Just go buy a tire plug kit at your local shop. I own a bunch of sets of tires, and I bet everyone of them has at least one plug in it. Plugs work just fine. I even know people who do plug sidewalls and they have never had a problem.

since its just a nail hole plug it up. and 15 bucks to patch it? WOW i thought the 5 bucks they charge was high.

[pro-rider46]

to be honest, i wasnt the one who paid for the patch, that was just a guess.

def plug it, I got a hole in the sidewall of one my GNCC's and they were about 1 month old if that. I have the vulkenized, they take rubber and melt it and fill in the hole behind and on the outside, then take a rubber piece and glue to the inside. Buddy of mine had this done as well and holds just fine.

As far as a nail hole, just have it plugged, don't mess with matches. It won't take but $8 or so to have it plugged and they do it on car tires all the time and guarantee it for the life of the tire.

Green Slime also works wonders

yea plug it. my stock 300 tire had 3 plugs in the one rear and 1 in the other. but they will hold for a long time. slime would make a mess on the rim when u need to change tires. but for a quick fix def worth it.
