Can this tire be fixed?
Quote | Reply
I just put on a set of Specialized Turbo Cotton Clincher tires and have only 10 miles on them. I was inspecting my rims after the ride when I saw this slash in the sidewall. Not sure how it happened, broken glass? My LBS had a brutal time getting this tire on my rims, so before I annoy them with another installation and dropping $100, I wanted to just double check and see if there was something that could save this. Thank you!

Just ride it and carry a spare.

Like I mentioned, the tire is very difficult to get on. Carrying a spare wouldn't help.

If I couldn't get a tire on and off a rim, I wouldn't be using it.
