OK, so I got to experimenting a little yesterday.
I noticed that when I stretched the tube to see how big the hole was, it naturally closed back up tight. I got to thinking, why not just put a drop or two of super glue in there when it's open and let the tube be its own clamp?
I did that yesterday and left it to dry over night.
This morning I tested it to see if it would hold just a tad bit of pressure. I have some old poly tube that I use for a leaf barrel that I put over the tube to act as a sleeve to keep it from really expanding too much without support.
It held probably 10 psi doing that.
I then took the wheel off and tore out the new tube and put the old tube in.
So far it's holding 58.5 PSI no problem.
I'm thinking it might just be repaired OK to ride around the 'hood.
