quick question
i'm running a pair of two month old gatorskins (wire bead). the front has take a sidewall slash around rim height. it's thinned the sidewall over about 2.5 inches, and left a 2mm hole at one point.
that hole caused me three punctures yesterday. a helpful guy in evans victoria (probs 'on here') suggested patching it with inner tube.
is that a long term solution? any issues with using a little superglue to hold the patch over the sidewall? any alternatives, short of buying a new tire?
