I've installed a number of patches and was never aware I needed a tool for it.

Patching truck tires (back in the day) and even bike tires as a lad, I used that thing. You roll it until the plastic backing/label comes off, which is how you knew you had completed the process.

I haven't patched a tube in years, and only then it was out necessity as I flatted twice in about the first 12 miles of a tour.

As the 70's moved along tubeless tires for cars were pretty standard and plugs were used instead of patches for most tire repairs. This sounds like a story from an old guy.:eek:

Had to stop less than two miles in to the ride to check out what I thought to be a leaf stuck in the stays. Instead, I saw sealant sprayed all over the stays and seat tube. Big. Effin'. Staple. Got out the multi-tool to pry it out (both points penetrated), spun the wheel, rode another 300 yards or so to give it more time to seal and then topped it off with a few pumps from the Lezyne, just for good measure. #andtheysaytubelessisn'tworthit
Also, drank less than 6oz of water over the course of 42 miles #VeloVolApproved |
