Howdy folks.

I have a big pile of Conti Sprinters that need repair. There is a cyclist in my area who apparently rides these, but abadons them by the road when they flat. I have a stack of about 8 that vary from worn but not trash to no obvious tread wear. Is there any quick/easy/cheap way to get these back on the road? I was thinking of trying True Goo or slime in one of them. If they are like my typical clincher flats, they are mostly tiny holes from pieces of wire and goat heads.

Thanks,

P.S. If there is no way to fix them other than opening them up, patching, restitching etc. what will restick the base tape on a nylon casing? I have some latex adhesive that should work on cotton casing but not nylon.
