How to Patch a Bicycle Inner Tube

Wait for the glue to dry?! As kids, we just slapped the patch on and set it on fire. I then wondered why patch kits don't come with matches XD

An excellent video, I learned a lot

I would advise always having a spare inner tube because i had to get my bike home in a taxi 😂

Burn on patches work the best.

A tube of slime is also good to use when you first get the bike and go anywhere.

Thank you. So nicely explained. Subscribed.

I can't find the hole in the tire only the tube can I still only patch the bike tube

Didn't know fixing puncture is a 2-hour job. No wonder the repair shop does not fix it for 10 Euro.

Thats pretty neat

Thank you, your tutorial is very helpful 👍

Does anybody else hear Super Dave?

the spike was too funny ,,Calvin ya made my day

amazing

it sounds silly that at age 66 i needed to watch this... but i just patched a few butyl tubes tonight with small holes, and wondered about that clear plastic on tip. been using your vulcanizing kit, but frankly the one with no glue looks a LOT better, especially on the road. can anyone comment on effectiveness with laytex tubes? thanks. p.s. i just subscribed. i do have several various park tools.

What should I do if the Patches - Solution + Patch ( From Bikerama kit) isn't sticking at all...?! Nice video & Thanks :)

Removing rear wheel is a pain in the ass for me,so I learned how to patch the tube without removing the wheel.

I noticed that I had a puncture in the front tyre of my Moulton on the way back from the supermarket. Prepared as always I whipped out my brand new, unused Park Tool puncture repair kit and prepared the inner tube for a patch. Opening the tube of rubber adhesive compound I found the tube to be sealed, but completely empty, In the manufacturing process something had obviously gone wrong. Fortunately on this occasion I had a spare inner tube, which saved the day. I decided to go further up the food chain of puncture repair kits and bought the highly recommended Rema TT02 kit. This is my second one and Rema are at the top of their game as they fill their adhesive compound tubes with more than air! You actually get the adhesive!

When I left the clear plastic backing on the vulcanizing patch, the next time I had the tire off, there were dried up flaky bits of dried, disintegrated cellophane all throughout the tire. Not the end of the world, just annoying.

It fixed👍, Thank you

Never knew Nicolas Cage was a bike mechanic

Cool mustache

You @$$holes dont say to leave the plastic cover on the patch in your instructions in the kit. Every time i remove it and every time it peels your vulcanized patches off.

Perfect video thank you so much

Sending this to my brother the flat king

Thank you ‼️

Great video... all around. They say nobody is perfect buuut. Guess the only thing I MIGHT add is to wet your finger before spreading glue so it doesn't stick to your finger. I bet you would tell me that's a bad idea. And you'd probably spend a minute explaining why.

What's everyone's thoughts on self adhesive patches vs traditional glue patches. Is one longer lasting than the other?

Again, top video!

Great video, thanks.

Used to have an old Peugeot, got a flat almost everyday 😢 got to where I would patch a patch😂 always keep a spare tibe; even if it has been patched.

Thanks! Up/down! Right in the middle at least here! Thanks for video as a referance! Nothing worse than a kit having no instructioms and needing a quick back up to get striaght to the job! Awesome!

Thanks for this great video. I have successfully patched many tubes and was able to reuse them. Question....I am running out of the rubber cement. Can I purchase any rubber cement or does it need to be special vulcanized glue? I have a Maifede patch kit. TIA John

Beautiful
Thank you

Best guy for bikes better thank going to bike repair guys

How long to wait until I install the tube after I patch it

Thanks. when i parked my mtb at the school parking lot and I came back to see a fucking nail in the tire

This is why I always play Luigi in Mario games

Woww keep it up

This is the best teaching ever

Ty I fixed my flat tire

Never was able to fix a flat with a pre glued patch. I always used the old fashioned ones .The rest is easy. I,m Dutch so I fixed a lot.

I had to learn this when I was ten. You learn to repair stuff when your poor.

Damn, i always removed the clear film

Should you not inflate the tube first, before applying the patch? It seem like it be a better patch doing so, no?

No need to press the valve on a Presta valve to roll it up, just unscrew it to the point where it will not hold air. So much misinfo in this video!

Ty sir...bike patched up an ready to burn rubber 😉👍 an subscribed

THANKS, great video and well done

Thank you

I wonder if that will work on the hole I have in my condom ?
