How to use a bicycle puncture kit?

Oldy · 07-02-2007, 10:38 PM

I've got a puncture in my back tire so I bought one from the local bike shop, but its got no instructions so what do i do? It's a little box that contains...
1. A little bottle that says rubber solution
2. A rough, spiked piece of metal probably used
similarly to sandpaper??
3. 5 sealed patches...

Can anyone help?

1. It's a good idea to take the wheel off the bike (not essiental)

2. Get that spiked piece of metal and rub it where the hole is to get rid of excess dirt ect.

3. Get the rubber solution (should be like glue) and place a small amount ON the hole.

4. Place the sealed patch over the hole and hold it down so it sets with the glue (rubber solution)

5. Pump up the tire and put it back on.
