Hey all,

Is it considered safe to apply a patch to the inside of the tire? I have
heard that the glue from patches can attack the sidewall material. Is this
still true in 2010? What is the common practice?

I recently purchased new Kenda Small Block tires that I'm running Stan's in.
After a DNF at Echo I learned that one of the tires has a hole in the
sidewall close to the rim. Seems the Stan's can seal this hole when the tire
is sitting, but when riding the sidewall flexes and the sealant fails. The
sealant doesn't seem to be able to reseal the hole when rotating.

Does anyone have any tricks for this problem? Another type of sealant? The
place I purchased the tire will not exchange it for a new one.

Thanks,
Mike
