So, the tire is fine, lots of life left in it, but there's an annoying *tick* in the speed range I mostly find myself. I'm wondering whether it might work to Superglue the flap down. Anyone ever tried that?
I did that once with (I think) Shoe Goo. I wonder if some super glues might be too inflexible for the job, though - I'd try the flat kit rubber cement/vulcanizing fluid.
