You'll probably also want to buy some Barge Cement or Shoe Goo to repair the holes in the tires. I just bought some Shoe Goo (local hardware store never heard of Barge Cement) to patch my back Parigi Roubaix. A pinch says the tread thickness is still comparable to the sides of the tread, but the holes little pieces of glass and sharp stones make were distressing, so I decided to see if forum-recommended repairs would work. I tried Super Glue in the past, and found it entirely unsatisfactory for this kind of tread patching. But given the relative fragility of the Parigi Roubaix I find it hard to imagine using them in an area afflicted by goathead thorns. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
