To glue, or not to glue?
I've picked up a nasty looking gash on this Conti Gatorskin 700x28c tyre. It's a matter of months old and probably only done a couple of hundred miles (that's "cyle paths" for you!) so I'm keen to try and keep the tyre. I wonder if carefully gluing this section back together will help, internet opinion is so far divided.
It's cutting across the tyre at an angle with an entry angle varying from about 45 degrees to very shallow, leaving a flap that can be pulled back with the thumb.
This didn't puncture the tube and I can't see any of the tyre fabric...

This happened with my wife's knowlege. Wow wonders never cease. I told her it was to cold and dark to fix a puncture outside and she was ok-ish with me fixing it inside. Turns out the tyre casing had split causing the puncture. That is why my Brompton has no rear tyre on it. I will buy one tomorrow.
