problem with veloflex master 22, unstuck tread

[agis1980]

Greetings fellow weenies. I recently discovered that a small part of the tread has become unstuck from the casing, about 9cm, as shown in the photo. I use it as a race only tyre, rear, with about 1500km on it. I can get another 1500km out of it for sure, so it would be a shame to throw it away without a fight!! So my question is, can i somehow glue it without any safety issues? What kind of glue would you use, if so? Or maybe some other idea that could help. Thank you all!

A terrible idea. Burn the damn thing ASAP.

Nursing damaged tires is the worst place to try and save a few dollars.

Email veloflex they would most Likley replace the thing

Hi,

What kind of glue would you use

Clean the entire area with some alcohol, let evaporate then use the same glue you'd repair a flat inner tube with. Put some on both the tread and the tyre proper and let it cure for a few minutes.

Put the tread back where it ought to be and apply some pressure untill both parts stick firmly together. Let it sit for a few hours and that's the end of that.

Hi,

Yes, that's the kind of glue you'd want. Not sure about the quality of the Velox one though. There's much better around.

Ciao,
