Snip interesting technique of patching a tire


From what I heard you just patch it with normal tube patches and glue from
the inside.
I'm still waiting for my first flat so I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
I carry a spare tube and selfadhesive patches, just to make sure I can
always get home.


Supposedly, you have to clean the inside of the tire at the repair
point with some solvent like toluene. So that the glue and patch will
stick properly. And don't sand the spot first! IIRC, there was an
article in one of the bike rags about this. I'm too lazy to look it
up, tho'.
