This one got crushed in a moving truck. What do you think? Would you ride it?

Have you tried wrapping your own bartape?

There are several schools of thought on how to properly wrap bartape. Do you do a figure 8? Do you use the cheater strips? Which direction do you wrap? Ginish tape, electrical tape, glue?? Put a cork in it? 🍾

Alright home mechanics - would you boot this?

Luckily Bruce we had his tire size in stock. We always have almost every tire size available. A flat like this typically forces you to replace the tire (if you have one).

If you didn’t have a tire as an option, you could use a boot as an emergency repair, but the success would depend on how damaged the tire wall was and the quality of the boot. You could use tape, a candy wrapper, trash, a dollar bill - anything to give the tube less of a chance to break through the weak point in the tire.
