Another flat tire
I got another flat tire on my scooter today. The mile push home was a pretty good work out at least.
The problem is that the tire is rated for 330lbs. I’m about 200 and the back part of the scooter is about 70-80 lbs. That’s all fine until you hit a dip or somethign and the instantaneous pressure is higher and you get pinch flats.
I tried EZ-Seal from Monkey Grip to help seal and prevent future problems, but I think the tire was too far gone. I’ll try it on a fresh tire instead of on an already flat tire like the last one and see how that goes. If it still doesn’t work then I’m going to try a foam sealed tire.
EZ-Seal is similar in concept to tire slime and fix-a-flat except it washes away with water so no nasty mess, it uses kevlar to help seal, and it stays liquid. I think it might work on a new tube.
