Remove the tube – Pop the tire bead off with your lever and pull out the inner tube.
Find the leak – Inflate slightly and listen/feel for escaping air.
Clean & patch – Wipe the hole area dry, then stick on a self-adhesive patch (no glue required).
Re-inflate & ride – Put the tube back in, pump it up, and you’re ready to roll.
⚡ Pro Tip: If you don’t have a patch kit, wrap the hole with electrical tape or even a dollar bill inside the tire as a temporary fix—it’ll hold until you get home.
