Hey folks...

Was out riding yesterday and somehow cut the side of my front tires sidewall and it went flat on me. Is this tire toast now?. Can anyhting be done to patch it up?. Will slime work?.

If you already have the slime you could try it, but i'd be surprised if it worked since it tends to remain in the tread area. You might try some silicone seal on the cut.

If it is small enough you can try a plug, if that doesnt work then you can get it vulcanized. take it to a tire shop, i had to done and it came out perfect with no problems. didnt cost much either, i forget how much though. they like melt rubber over the slash or something.
