what is the best patch for bike inner tube repair?

Question

I mean the really best, actually I been so disappointing all the patches I use with some 60 degrees the peel apart, so far the park tool has been the more clean but just at 60 degrees at sun light and they peel apart, is there something more powerful? a glue or kind of vulcanizing system for the bike inner tube, I'm really sick and tired that I just put the patch and the third day they peel apart, I'm rally a heavy user since I do not have a acar I use my bike mostly for everything, so is most a tool rather than a sport thing, needless to say I give it hard punishment, but again my problem is I can not find something really efective, the slime liquid is useless just get dirty and difficult the repair, so just buy and buy new inner tubes is drive me crazy, sometimes as a matter or bad luck i get flat the same tire twice!!!!! please let me know your advises and commentaries
thank you for your time

Answer 1

Save your time and aggravation and attack the problem from the outside in.



Buy a pair of Schwalbe Marathon tires. Any of the Marathon line are better tires for puncture resistance than any other bicycle tire.



If you patches are peeling then you aren't doing something correct in the process as there are only 2 types of patches. Glueless and glued. If you are having the problem with the glued patches peeling I suspect the problem stems from insufficient sanding before gluing -- or -- not allowing the glue to dry 100% before applying the patch. Both cases are surface preparation and taking shortcuts on prep make the patches peel. You don't have to sand deep, but you must scuff beyond the area of the patch to insure a good bond. Nothing large just a couple millimeters beyond the patch perimeter. Allow for complete drying time as shown on the glue container label before placing the patch on the tube. It's good to put a spoon under your thumb and press down over the entire patch.

Answer 2

Are you scuffing up the rubber floor earlier than making use of the glue and patch? Is the tube flawlessly dry and easy after scuff age and just previous to applying glue and patch? Where is the puncture? Whether it is around the valve, you are not going to repair it. What's the nature of the puncture? Nail holes and that variety of thing are simple fixes, but when its a tear you must buy a new tube. In the correct scenario, and when finished safely, the tube will final so long as a brand new one.

Best Bike Inner Tube

Answer 4

i like the chinese ones from ebay

i find they work well



one other trick is, get a separate can of the glue for about $8

it has a lid and wont; leak out and evaporate like a tube

yuo can also go to a car tire store and say 'please let me have or sell me some car tire patch / plug glue'



i also tend to cut the patches into tiny pieces, like about 6 pieces per normal patch

\

they work just as well

as long as it covers the hole



it;s really not that hard if you sand it off around the hole, use fresh glue, and let it dry, then press the patch on pretty hard - roll it on with a spoon or glass bottle or something



the peel and stick patches never work



if you get flats often you might want to mark the hole locations on the wheel itself



if you get more than 2 in the same place, you may have a prob with your wheel

like a sharp piece inside it

or the rim strip is moved over or bad

Answer 5

Let the glue dry for at least 5 minute's. When setting the patch press down on the center of patch first.

Answer 6

Make sure you rough up the surface good so the glue adheres. I put the glue on and then light it for a few seconds and blow it out and put the patch on. Press the patch against the tube for a min or so. High pressure road tires are harder to patch.



I would get Mr Tuffy tire liners and maybe puncture resistant tires if the liners don't do the job.

Answer 7

You can also use liquid or spray - work very well for small holes. http://www.open-info.eu/spray-do-latania-detek-roweru-patch-spray/
