Why Didn’t I Know This Before? Repair a Broken Inner Tube in Just 2 Minutes

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.
