Crosby Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have a right front 27.5 / 8-15 Hoosier R-750 with a pinhole in the tread area that only has 20 laps on it. The wheel is a economy Aero wheel. Has anyone been successful running an inner tube in these tires? I'm not worried about the tube causing a slight pressure change in the tire. Right now I am just getting seat time. I would like to get one more 20 lap race out of it if possible. I am worried about getting the right size tube and the wheel not ripping off the valve stem. From the little bit of research I have done I don't see a tube size that fits exactly. If anyone has ran a tube in these tires please let me know. Thank you in advance, Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickracer Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 We would scrape and clean the area really well on the inside. Then build a decent amount of silicone that will bond to anything. Like the red or black that’s oil resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
