The best way to fix a puncture is to replace the punctured inner tube instead of repairing it. Carrying a spare inner tube, a set of tire levers and a pump is essential for a good bike ride.

Repair the puncture later and use the punctured inner tube as spare. Bring always a set of tire repair, in case you have another puncture.

Polisport has at your disposal two sets of three ergonomic, light, fitting on each other dismantling pieces, to save space and help you having an organized and of easy access bag, any time you need them.

1. Remove the wheel and place a dismantling tires between the tire and rim, take out one side of the tire. Lock the dismantling tires to a spoke, insert near it a second dismantling tires and push it forward, going all way around the rim to take out one side of the tire.

Remove the inner tube.

2. Inflate the inner tube enough to hear the air out through the puncture. Mark the hole with a pencil of your set of tire repair. Let all the air out and spread a thin layer of glue on and around the puncture.

3. Wait a few minutes until the glue gets sticky; should change from transparent to opaque. Remove the foil from the back of the patch and then press firmly over the glue, holding it for at least one minute. Check if the patch has formed a good protection and that all its ends are smooth.

4. Spread some chalk on the patch to prevent any excess of glue from sticking to the inside of the tire. Some sets of puncture repair contain chalk powder, others have a stick of chalk to rub with sandpaper, in order to make it into powder.

5. Take out the rest of the tire from the rim, check the outside and then turn it over and feel well the inside area, looking for something that can be spiked, before placing an inner tube. If you find something, remove it from the outside of the tire.
