G'day STriders, STreakers, STrippers & STrudel-Munchers,
I was working on a new camera mount that will b the subject of n upcoming thread when I was about 2 do a driveway trial of the new setup when I looked at my rear PR3 and saw a round silver dot on the tyre that was, as suspected, an embedded Phillips head screw:
As u can see, I screwed it out a little 4 the foto. There is no sign of deflation so the screw is likely 2 b relatively short in the near new tread.
So here's my query: If, on removing the screw, the tyre stays inflated, rather than inserting a puncture repair plug and thereby using part of my repair kit, I was thinking of injecting some rubber contact adhesive into the hole on the presumption that if the tyre has not deflated then the interior radial ply has not been pierced and therefore the integrity of the tyre has not been violated. Contact adhesive is pliable and water-proof so should do the job.
Waddiya reckon peeps. The screw has been there awhile coz it's quite worn and caused no problem.
