Slightly strange question here, and not technically for tubulars, but open tubulars.
Out of boredom and tightness I have just "repaired" a Vittoria Open corsa evo SC. It had a small 5mm vertical slice in the sidewall. Amazingly most of the sidewall threads were intact, I seem to have sliced the thin latex/rubber outer. Using just what I had at home...
I used a tyvek type thin material on the inside, coated with a flexible, water resistant contact adhesive and I've glued the cut and also put a park tools patch on the outside...
Is this likely to work?
I don't really care either way cause I wouldn't use the tyre on the front again and I would otherwise bin it but here's hoping!
