    Hi All,

    Ive had a look at some past topics but cant find anything. Ive just had a puncture from glass, replaced roadside and removed the glass but now there’s a 2-3mm “slash” in the tyre. On closer inspection i noticed a few of these which look similar but just havent caused punctures. I ride Gatorskins which i guess are fairly tough, but should i be worried about these and replace? When properly inflated the “slashes” are small enough not to open up.
    Cheers 🙂

    My front Gatorskin (28) has done 3500 miles+ over some awful city streets and country roads. It’s had one puncture (from a direct edge hit on a massive shard of glass) but is otherwise absolutely pitted with cuts and holes, many of them millimiters wide / long, which have expanded over time.

    I’ve never bothered glueing them, just tweezered out the glass and carried on.

    E6000 was recommended to me; it’s flexible so seems to work pretty well.

    That said, if the carcass is damaged bin it!

    Inflate to the pressure you
    Inflate to the pressure you run, then get a torch and spin the wheel slowly, looking for little nicks of glass, take the glass out and replace with a little super glue. It’ll keep your tyres going a little longer.

    Anything you can fit your pinky finger nail into, replace the tyre
