OUTEX PDK Puncture defense kit FAQ |
|
Q: 1 Is installation easy? A: 1 No special technique is required so long
as the installation manual is well read and followed. |
|
Q: 2 What preparation required on the inner side where the Heat
resisting black double sided adhesive tape should be laid. A: 2 Basically, apply Silicon-off with wiping rag. Depending on the tire
manufacturer, the surface of the inner tire may need to be scrubbed evenly
with stainless scourer and Silicon-off in order to secure the installation of
the Heat resisting black double sided adhesive tape. |
|
Q: 3 Should the sharp object be pulled off? A: 3 If the objective seems easy to be pulled off,
please do so with plier. Small amount of air will leak, but the air pressure
from the tire will push the white tape to seal the damaged area. |
|
Q: 4 Up to what size of sharp objective can be stuck on a treated tire? A: 4 We have confirmed no air leakage after we stuck/pulled 8mm diameter
driver on/off the tire. |
|
Q: 5 How about the durability? A: 5 Test result shows the adhesiveness of the material remained even
after the circuit run under excess heat from the sun in the Mid-Summer. We purposely reduced the adhesiveness of the material as a part of the
test, and sticked a gimlet, but air leak did not
happen. |
|
Q: 6 Leave it as it is even after punctured? Will the liquid to seal the
hole be solid? A: 6 If the air does not leak, it is not a puncture. So, leave it as it
is. The material is not in a liquid form, but is an adhesive tape. Thus, it
will not be solid inside or outside of the tire. |
|
Q: 7 Will the kit influence the handling of the bike? A: 7 No. Unlike other liquid type puncture proof products, PDK is very
light and stable to the tire inner surface, and very flexible, we found no negative
influence to the handling of the bike. (confirmed by
the professional rider on the circuit test run.) |
|
Q: 8 Any problem if sharp object sticks on the place where puncture
defense sheet overlaps at the both end of the sheet? A: 8 According to the test, sticking a gimlet on the place did not
result in any air leak. |
