Patching a bicycle tire

Patching a flat inner tube is not as difficult as you think. You need: a repair kit (with tire levers, glue, patches and sandpaper), spanners, scissors, bicycle pump and a bucket of water.

Now follow the steps below.

Remove the tire from the wheel

• Turn the bike upside down
• Deflate the tire and loosen the valve
• Insert the first tire lever next to the valve between the tire and the rim and hook it behind a spoke. Do the same with the second tire lever, about two spokes away
• Carefully loosen the tire with the third tire lever
• Remove the tire from the rim
• Feel whether there are anything sharp (glass, nail, etc.) on the inside of the tire
• Stick the inner tube

Remove the inner tube from the wheel.

• Inflate the tire and locate the puncture by holding the tire under water. The leak is where air bubbles appear
• Deflate the tire and lightly sand the puncture site
• Apply some glue to the tire and let it sit for two minutes
• Cut a circle from the piece of tire patch (or take a ready-made sticker), stick it on the puncture and press it firmly
• Let it dry for five minutes

Put the tires back on the wheel

• Place the valve back in the rim and assemble it (wait to tighten the thin nut until the tires are back on the bike)
• Inflate the inner tube slightly and place it in the tire
• Press the tire all around into the rim. Start at the valve and work your way around slowly
• Push the last piece of tire back into the rim with a tire lever
