Tyre Warmer Repair

[moanthebairns]

I sat down at the weekend to thread my tyre warmers with bungee pull cord. I spent and hour pushing it through with a pen, shouting and trying like fk to tie a bowline knot. After I finished, I then discovered my tyre warmers had became creased, and as a result burnt the fabric through and one of the wires is exposed.

Its just the front that's like that, rears fine. They are diamond ones, I called them but its been over 5 years since they stocked them and they don't repair them anymore. He says I can get heat proof fabric and knit it in. To be honest, they are fking st, the pull cord is a fking pain in the arse, the elasticated ones I tried are so much better.

so, anyone fixed theirs? or chuck it.
I'm thinking diamond again?

any other recommendations around the £150 mark.

Just buy some more. Diamond ones are superb and at £150 are pretty disposable after a couple of years.

I'm looking forward to the response on the £150 only lasting two years

He's wanting me to get him them for his Christmas.

Agreed I had another look at it. fk bodging it, if it goes up in flames it'll cost a lot more.

So diamond still the best budget?

No other suggestions

They're good quality. Much better than the ebay specials that are all priced around the same. I had some HWWs a few years back that are supposed to be excellent. They lasted two years too, but were a lot more expensive than £150.

I don't think you can go wrong for that price.

Anymore in the budget? I got a set of capit warmers from Italy for £215. UK sellers wanted £280+, happy with the deal I got and they seem top notch.

These are on my watch list after a couple of people on TDR recommended them.

I have no experience of them though so happy to be told they are ste to stop me wasting my money.

Diamond are based in Newcastle. So if you have any problems it's a short drive away, rather than posting 400+ miles south.

True, although I did try to find them at the address listed on the website once and it just lead me to a housing estate. I could have tried getting in touch with them I suppose, but u was fed up of driving round by that point.

[moanthebairns]

Diamond it is. The stuff is really keenly priced and having bought from them before the service and product is top notch.

Yep. Turn left into the estate, left again and it's on the right.

I was going to keep the rear as it might come in handy and isn't broken, if your happy fixing the front and want to use them if you hit the track next year your weclome to them.

We've got a full spare set between us. I've got a front that's fine, but a busted rear! Ooooo matron.

Cheers mate but probably best you keep hold of it for now.

I'm realistically not doing any heavy track stuff until 2017 now. Toy fund is currently tied up with plans for new road bike.

I'll get there in the end.
