FAQs

How do I use the tire levers?

Insert one lever under the tire bead to pry it over the rim. Secure the lever to the spoke. Use the second lever to pry the rest of the tire off the rim.

What type of glue should I use?

The kit comes with special rubber cement. Do not use other types of glue.

Can I use this kit for tubeless tires?

No, this kit is designed for tires with inner tubes. You will need a different kit for tubeless tires.

How do I find the puncture?

Inflate the tube and listen for the air escaping. You can also submerge the tube in water to find the bubbles.

How long should I wait for the glue to dry?

Let the glue become tacky before applying the patch, usually about 1-2 minutes, depending on the glue.

What if I run out of patches?

The kit includes multiple patches. However, you can purchase additional patches if needed. Make sure they are for the same tire type.

How should I store the repair kit?

Store the kit in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to preserve the tools and glue.

Troubleshooting

Patch is not sticking properly.

Ensure the tire surface is clean and roughened with the metal rasp before applying glue. Apply a thin, even layer of glue and allow it to become tacky before applying the patch. Press firmly on the patch for several minutes.

Glue has dried out.

Replace the glue with a fresh tube. Ensure the glue cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent drying.

Tire levers are breaking.

Use tire levers carefully to avoid excessive force. If levers break, replace with new ones.

Puncture is too large for the patches provided.

If the puncture is larger than the patches, consider using multiple patches or seeking professional tire repair or replacement.
