...or coffee, if your're in Brazil or Finland ;)

The Park Tool Vulcanizing Patch kit is the best in the world and super cheap also, picked mine up at local bike shop for just $2.00 and within a few minutes after locating the hole, the wheel was back on and I was riding again. Excellent value and they stay on forever and actually become part of the rubber.

Much harder on a road bike tyre of course.

Ran out of patches, put on some contact glue on the hole, waited till it was surface dry and then put duct tape over, a 2x2 inch piece, still good.
Also, if you have regular contact glue you can glue on a piece of rubber cut out from an old inner tube. Other things may work as well.

Where can u buy a patch

Do you mind if I just grab a beer instead?

can I pump it up straight after putting the patch on?

Thank you for sharing this video. I will be patching my first puncture tomorrow. It is a double puncture.

Great video! Is there a way to fix a picture that resulted from a side wall slash?

i prefer Tea myself : ) coffee is harsh

why do i have to wait to the glue get dry???? how Long ?

When he said that snake bite punctures were common on mountain bikes I thought for a second that snakes biting people's bicycle tires was a common occurrence lmao

It's a good idea to compress the patched area in a carpenter clamp with even surfaces after you apply the patch and let it dry for a few hours. I use 2 pieces of tile. The resulting bond is nearly impossible to fail.
