The dreaded sliced sidewall! Sooner or later, anyone who rides rocky trails or rougher gravel roads is bound to suffer from a slice in a tire too big for plugs. In Episode 4 of the Backcountry Bike Repair series, @kurt.refsnider and @kait.boyle walk through how to deal with sliced tire casings using a boot for a temporary solution or stitching it up for a longer-term solution without resorting to installing a tube.  Watch the full video at #theradavist.com Thanks to @theradavist and @wolf_tooth_comp for making this series possible!  #beyourownmechanic #bikerepair #backcountrymtb #mtb #bikepacking #adventurecycling
