The back story: I tore this tire during race a couple weeks ago. I patched it on the inside, then superglued it on the outside. It still herniated a bit under pressure. So — I stitched through the surrounding knobs with some 30lb @maximafishingline to pucker it up and relieve some pressure at the tear. I’ll be proving it out tomorrow on a solo loop of Taylor Ridge. I’m sure it will be just fine!
