Had a puncture tonight. Once home I have repaired tube and found this small nick in tyre. No sign of anything still inside it and only a tiny hole on the otherside. Would a bit if superglue do anything to help or do I just leave it? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1314304245.204528.jpg

Supergluing normally doesn't work for very long. On the rear, I'd just leave it. (I have a very similar nick on my rear Michelin Pro Race 3 at the moment). On the front, I'd probably swap it to the rear if I could...

I could swap it. It's on the front but it will always worry me so will try to get a new one tomorrow. Lbs I got them from is near work.

Neoprene glue, like for repairing wetsuits works much better than superglue. Not always perfect glueing unless the nick is small, but helps keep crud out.

I have the exact thing in the garage, Blackwitch, but will get a new tyre, repair this one and use it as a spare. Don't want any bother on the Mcr 100.
Nick is about 3-4mm long, can't see it staying shut for too long.
