that’s why you’re supposed to glue it on
Doesn’t the exposed rim make it unsafe, as in the tire can roll off?
No, I’ve done some faulty research which tell me it is carpet fibers. I mean it could have some funky cat hairs in it and I don’t trust cats.
Note, I can’t refute the old crusty title you gave me
Take care, JP (Just Pedal)
just wanna ask what tire did you still to the wheel it is 21 or 22?thanks.
Murray25 you old crusty son of a mother scratcher..it’s ‘carbon’ fiber, Methuselah ….Carbon Fiber.
ah….there’s nothing like the smell of fresh glue, it’s part of the experience.
That said, tufo tape is not bad during a flat. But if you have time, I highly recommend gluing.
Thanks, Murry
Why in my day we used glue to get it to adhere to the rim. They were called them sew-ups and we used dental floss to sew them up after a repair. Ah, the a prize of a silk makes me shutter with delight. Dang whipper snappers! Bikes are made of carpet fiber now too…gimme steel. LOL Five stars!! UFCF #02937S
