Xoltri Posted June 7, 2018 Posted June 7, 2018 I had a flat about a week ago on my KS 16b. Tried to fix it first with slime, that didn't work. Then I used Tear-Aid (which I used to love but will not use again, it has let me down twice now). That patch lasted about a week before it let go on the way to work. Took the wheel apart again and not only did the patch fail but now the small hole was a large tear in the tube. I bought a classic patch kit with the rubber cement and a patch large enough to just cover the tear. Took it for a test ride yesterday and this morning it still was inflated so I thought I was good to go. Got almost all the way to work this AM and it catastrophically deflated really fast. I don't know if you've ever ridden an EUC with a flat tire - actually scratch that, I know you haven't because it's impossible. The wheel got instantly impossible to control and I had to jump off of it. Luckily managed to stay on my feet. Not sure how fast I was going but it wasn't top speed. Wheel seems ok, minus a new mark to join the many others I need to buff out, as well as a surprising chip in one of the pedals. I have 2 new tubes on order. I'm getting really good at putting them in...
