atv on road tires

By admin, on February 15th, 2010

My brother has a road bike with flat tire Answers needed.?

My brother got a flat tire yesterday and it is his only way of transportation. The flat we believe was caused by a very small shard of glass. We do not have enough money right now to go out and get a new tire or slime stuff but I do have Fix-a-flat. It is designed for small cars and ATV’s. On the label it says do not use on z-rated tires, bicycle or motorcycle tires. But the bike tires we have on there are rated for 130psi. How does this make sense? Anyways do you think I should try it out? This is the stuff I have.

Don’t use fix-a flat or slime.
New inner tube runs about $5.00
Road tire will run as little as $12.00
Patch kit $2.00
Every bicyclist needs to carry a spare tube and patch kit and the knowledge to change a tire on the side of the road. Flats happen.
I carry a spare tire when I ride my tandem.
Respectfully, this is not much money given there are no expenses related to car ownership.
