  • pls halp! came back for a ride today and noticed a small cut in the sidewall of one of my tubs, and the tube poking out by a few mm.

    tried sticking a patch over that bit, which helped, but the tubes still poking out a bit. how likely am i to kill myself riding on it for a couple more days? (got a ~140km left for my festive 500) I have no idea what i'm doing with tubs and i don't have another to fit unfortunately

    You can't "stick a path" over it. You can boot it from the inside and use latex milk to keep the fibres down. I'd typically view the tyre as spent and keep it for spare materials-- such as boots.

    how likely am i to kill myself riding on it for a couple more days?

    If it is the front it is quite dangerous since it'll probably blow and you can loose control.. Rear.. It'll just blow.. not saying you can't loose control but generally...
