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?

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

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

What you wanting for the damaged ones?

I quite like fixing things.
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.
