How do you fix a bike tyre puncture ?

Answer 1

1: Remove the wheel.

2: Using tyre levers if neccessary, remove the tyre.

3: Remove the inner tube and pump air into the inner tube to locate the puncture. If you can't hear it, use water or spit to find it. It will show up as bubbles where the hole is.

4: Once you have found the hole, use sandpaper to rough the surface down.

5: Smear rubber vulcanising comound on the area and apply the patch.

6: Cover the area affected with the compound with chalk dust.

7: Put the tube back into the tyre and using tyre levers as neccessary, replace the tyre on the wheel.

8: Reinflate the tyre, making sure it is located properly on the wheel rim.

All the parts needed to do this - except a pump - are located in any good puncture repair kit. The chalk is often in the form of a hard block, which you will need to scrape on the rough area on the back of the box. Good luck.

Some people carry a spare inner tube with them and when they get a puncture they just swap it around. Then they repair the puncture when they get home. Personally, I don't think that's worth the trouble, but it's up to you.

Answer 2

DUDE!! repalce the tube!!!!!!!!!!!HELLOOOOOOOOO

Answer 3

Buy a bike tire patch take out the rim of the tire that leads to the round bike tire tube place some air in and put it in water to see where the air is coming out then patch and fill with air they your ready to use it again.

But if your talking about a motor cycle just replace it or go to the auto motorcycle shop.

Answer 4

you can either patch or replace the tube inside the tire....an easy way to find the puncture if you can't see it is to blow up the tube while submerged under some bath water, or else wet tube with soapy water and look for bubbles...tubes are roughly $5 dollars, and patch kits are in the same ball park price.....you can purchase a tire-wrench to pull the tire off one side the rim to get at the tube, or you can just use a screwdriver, which is what i usually do.....
