Use Glueless Patches

Description

Glueless patches are self-adhesive patches that offer a quicker, albeit sometimes less permanent, fix than traditional glue-on patches.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Follow steps 1-5 above to remove the tube and find the leak.
2. Clean and roughen the area around the puncture using the sandpaper/scraper included with the glueless patches.
3. Peel the glueless patch from its backing (like a sticker).
4. Apply the patch directly over the hole, pressing down firmly, especially around the edges.
5. Follow steps 8-12 above to reinstall the tube and tire.
6. Note: Glueless patches are very convenient for roadside repairs but may not hold as reliably long-term as vulcanized patches, especially under high pressure. Many riders carry them for emergencies but replace the tube or use a traditional patch later.
