Borat Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Easy guys, I have a problem, my front echo urban is bent to f**k and I have had to build my trialtech wheel back up. (it's the £45 whole wheel off tarty ) But the tyre slips on the rim, as in the innertube valve starts to move when gap to front etc. It still moves when pumped up hard.. So what bodges can I do to stop it moving? I have tried my maxxis cc and holy roler, both slip. Please give me ideas for bodges etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxRogers Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Put tar in the inside of your sidewalls? hopefully then the tire will grip to the rim? Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'd imagine there's not a lot you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 like Alex said. Tar will work, a lot of tar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich J Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Use tube repair glue on ONE side of the tyre, wont stick forever but should hold til unwanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliv Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I haven't tried it myself but I've heard talcum/baby powder on the tube so it stays put even if the tire slips. May be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis-gu Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Mine used to do it, just gota put up with it really lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Get some evostick and use it to glue portions of the tyre bead onto the rim, its a contact adhesive though so make sure you get it in the right place Probably wont be a permanent solution but should hold better than most other glues, alternatively you might be able to get a tyre clamp as used on enduro bikes, not sure if they come in such small sizes though.

Matt Vandart Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Roughen up the inside off the rim where the bead sits. You riding a stock now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theom Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 alternatively you might be able to get a tyre clamp as used on enduro bikes, not sure if they come in such small sizes though. These work fine, ive used one before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
