Repairing Tubs...

I've heard there is a fluid or gum that you can put in a burst tub, and through spinning the wheel causes the tear to become sealed. Does anyone know of such a miracle product or is it an urban myth? If so where can I buy it, would be handy to carry around rather than a spare tub.

Great Forum

Something like this?

Never used the stuff so not sure what the score is with regards to continued use of the repaired tube etc.

wiggle has a few variations of the same sort of thing...

Magic, that's exactly what I was after. I was thinking about changing the wheels but there Camp Shamel, and there beautiful.

I'd try it out first before ditching that spare tub - I've tried the Tufo sealant and it held ok up to about 100psi but over that it failed and just oozed back out of the tub.
So ok if yr on the road and need to get home, less good for use if you're using the tubs at higher pressures at the track.

You can get repair kits available from 'Mike Dyason' you get the patches and rethreading kit.

I've never done it myself but you have to unpick the stitching on the tub at the puncture area and pull out the section of tube, then repair it as normal refit it and then try and stitch the tub back up without piercing the tube ;)

So I've UTFS and already found the guides on how to repair (going to have fun with that today)
My question is the same as above, the sealant, im guessing it is a quick fix to get you home, after you use it once and then do a proper repair can you use a sealant again in a quick fix scenario or does the tub eventually get full of the stuff and a replacement needed?
I got tubs for the first time, loving them, even upgraded to gatorskin sprinters, the guy in my LBS did laugh and say I was unlucky (my second outing on them) he has them and hasn't had to do any repairs ..yet!

..now, where's my needle and thread
