Good training/racing tires

I get a lot of miles on these. I use them for training and road races but not TT's or Tris. If you're getting sidewall cuts, not many tires are going to help. Protection on most tires is along the main part of the tread, not the sidewalls.

• Sidewall cuts. The sidewall of a tire is not designed to contact anything, and is not durable like the tread of a tire. Many times this type of damage unknowingly happens when a cyclist loads his/her bike onto a vehicle, or leans it against something, like a curb, bench, or wall. The sidewall is generally made thin to keep the tire light and supple for good ride characteristics. Unfortunately with sidewall cuts, once they happen, there is no suitable repair. The tire will need replacing.

Preventative action: Avoid tire sidewall contact with sharp or rough objects.

Sidewall cuts - inflate, superglue, deflate, allow to set.  If the cuts are small this will patch them up.

And I always have two sets of tires - race tires (Vittoria Open Corsa EVO CX) tires and for trainer tires I use whatever I find on sale really cheap (right now Hutchison Fusions).  Switching to the race tires and latex tubes is now a race prep tradition.

Thanks for the tip. I will definately try this. Do you glue right over  the tube? The tube is visible through the side wall cut.

Or inflate just enough so the cut is together like a skin incision? That makes a lot more sense ( think I just answered my own question) 

again thanks 

I think i paid $75 ea. at a LBS here in town.  I saw them online in the mid $60's but figured I'd support the LBS.
