Is this Repairable?
I have a Schwalbe Ultremo HT Tubular tyre with some damage from contact with another riders tyre at speed. The attached picture shows the damage, no air leaks out of the damaged area so was wondering if anyone had any bright ideas how to make it safer for riding (I was thinking of having it as an emergency spare tyre on rides). Thanks.

I would ride a Vittoria Rally in lieu of if your budget is tight, best of the cheapo tubs in my experience.
Why have you even asked?
just googled the tire.. retail is 70 quid !!!
Hence why I am so reluctant to throw it away! But it seems like it's the safest option, thanks everyone by the way
is three "bin its" conclusive? Because that belongs in a bin. Beyond repair.
I would bin that too, and I ride tubes covered in patches in winter!
Bin it. Tyres are very important to motorbikes and cycles. You wouldn't want a repair it to let go whilst cornering or travelling at high speed.
