My wheeleez wheel (grey small beach wheel) has a hole in it, looks like a thorn or similar.  like 1mm diameter but clearly visible once you know where it is.

Does anyone have tips on repair?  Thanks in advance all you smart people!  Happy Friday.

There's a youtube video showing someone heating a pce of metal and smearing across the hole. Try that should probably be an easy fix.

Had the same issue on my wheelez and reach out to the company to see if they had scrap pieces to make a repair. They sent me a little baggie of shredded polyurethane (same stuff they use to make the wheels). Then went to town with my soldering iron and it came out great.

When I got my cart years ago, they included a little bag with little pieces of tire material in it. I think the proper method was to stick the piece into the hole then melt it over with a soldering iron, I never throw anything away so I'm gonna go look for that little bag, but with all my crap I'm not expecting to find it.

Holy Moly, I found it (them), I bought a cart that came with it, then a set of wheels for a home made cart, so long story short I have 2 little baggies from them. If want, PM your address and I mail one to you.
