vRS Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi just thought I'd share my experience of the weekend just past... I was switching rear wheels from My echo disc hubbed to my non so I could put the rear disc on my project onza blade and keep the goodness of the decent tyres etc onto my 05 python. Both of which had been running just fine except one tyre was near slick and had been shaved so I was swapping the good tyre onto the non disc hub I'd be using. On reassembling and test riding both bikes a couple of pivots and rear hops in then tried to cycle normally and BOOOOOM! The rear tyre popped off the Rim on both bikes this happened, so then spent a couple hours swapping tyres, tubes and rims, resetting chain tension and hs33 everytime near enough haha. It failed and popped off the bead everytime... :/ I read a couple posts and seen that someone had used some sort of non permanent adhesive on the bead and Rim and it worked and others said it wouldn't blah blah... Me being extremely addicted to being out on my bike I had nothing to lose before I was going to fork out for a new tyre (which I was looking forward too secretly I had a tin of spray adhesive from when I had laid my kitchen and lobby vinyl. I semi inflated the tyre, lightly sprayed the bead all the way round both sides then slightly inflated it even more and left it to 'cure' :D........ And its worked so far! Test run, weary but survived just cycling. Rear wheel hop, safe! To a kerb, safe! Pivots, drops and gaps, even tyre roll and it stayed on! Might not work for everyone but it certainly saved my this time atleast till the end of the month hopefully and I'll order the pro race that I've been dreaming of =) BTW it was a maxxis creepy tyre in question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
