[ "Guide for a puncture repairNo matter how smooth your local roads are, how hard your tires are, or how little you drive in the rain, you will eventually puncture. It's just one of those things like Puncture repair Birmingham edition as a metaphor.All you need is some tire levers, a small piece of sandpaper, some tube patches and a rubber solution. You may also want to wear a boot in case the tire is seriously damaged. Needless to say, you will also need a CO2 pump or inflator. And if you get pierced, you'll need to know how to repair a pierced soul.Steps;Removing the tubeThe first part is to pull the punctured tube out of the tire. The easiest way to do this is with tire levers, although sometimes you can get the tires off just using your hands if they fit you particularly well, or of course, you have the grip of a powerlifter.Prying the first piece of the tire off the rim is the hardest part. Bleed all the air out of the tube (if there's any left, that is) and push the end of the lever on the tire lever under the tire bead. Then push hard on the end of the lever and lift the tire up.Some tire levers will have hooks on the end so you can attach them to the spokes to hold them in place at this point, but remember that the more you stretch the tire, the harder it will be to get the second level under the bead.With many tires, this probably won't be a problem, but if it's a particularly tight tire it can be damn near impossible to get the tire off.Once you lift the second part of the bead, it should sit outside the rim, leaving you free to lift the rest of the tire off the rim or do the same thing a third time if it needs a little more convincing.At this point, it is actually possible to slide the tire lever around the bead of the tire and pull it all In the case of bad flats where there is a hole in the tire, you may need a boot to cover the hole until you get home.Pipe RepairThere should be a small piece of sandpaper in the puncture repair kit. Use it to lightly rub around the damaged pipe in the hole area to provide a better surface for the rubber solution to grip.Next, apply the rubber solution to the test tube. The reason we call it a gum solution rather than a glue is that if you treat it like a conventional glue, you won't get any joy out of trying to repair a puncture. Basically, you need to apply enough to cover the patch size area and you don't need a lot of solutions.Once applied - and this part is vital - leave it on for about 30-60 seconds. You want the solution to be sticky, runny is not good at all and you don't want to apply the patch until the solution is the right consistency.You can just apply and spread the solution with your finger, no special tools are mostly needed! But don't use too much and don't forget to wait until it's tacky before sticking the patch on or you won't get any joy out of trying to stick it.While you're waiting, prepare your patch by peeling off the silver foil or similar from the back, but don't touch the side you'll be applying to the tube, so you don't get dirt on it.Next, carefully stick the patch on the tube. Sure, it's not exactly a surgical procedure, but you don't want to screw it up and leave the part unglued properly because that means it won't close the tube and you'll have to start over.When the patch sticks properly, pump some air through the tubing to make sure it's doing its job. Of course not too much that you risk blowing the pipe, but also not so little that the pressure is too low to push through the damaged part.Repairing a puncture is really a very simple task, especially in car tyres Birmingham edition.. But like anything, you'll probably have to try it the first few times before you get the technique dialled in and it becomes second nature." ]
