DO THIS to STOP PUNCTURES! #shorts

How to stop punctures, and how to deal with them if you get a big one!

[pissphungus]

just a reminder, a plug in the side wall is just a “limp” home type of thing. sidewalls love to either tear, or completely blow out when they have damage like that.

DO THIS to REPAIR PUNCTURES. You ain't stopping shit lol

The sealant will not coagulate when you use CO2 cartridges.

Always being a spare tube when running tubeless! I've been caught out before and it's not fun

[richardmiddleton]

If it's a sidewall puncture you have to lean the bike on the side of the puncture! Kind of how gravity works!

Remember carrying a CO2 cartridge is a one shot deal. I on the other hand carry a mini air compressor (lithium battery powered) it a little heavy but it does the joe nicely.

I have found you have to inflate the tire to just under Max pressure spin it for 30 second to let it seal properly.

Had a flat twice to the same tire within 1 mile . That's how I learned error and trial

[computerbob]

And, take your empty CO2 canister home with you!

I fill my tires with helium, so I can reenact the ending to ET on my way home.

CO2 for the trail is why I switched from Stan's to Slime for my tubeless sealant. Apparently Stan's doesn't react well with CO2 so it won't seal.

Mini air compressors. Co2 cartridges. Tire goo.
Extra tubes and a frame pump. Never fails to get you on your way

[jamblek]

punctures in real life are never like this, sidewalls normally get slashed so are too big to plug or the puncture is often right near the rim edge and unfixable.... best way is to carry a tube just incase

[theebikeguy]

Slime and have their stuff in your tires eventually we'll stop at the valve stem where you can put air in it. Also if you do have a larger hole and it gets into the tire and around the rim overtime this can put pits in the aluminum. However I do like the stuff because when they come in our shop I get to charge twice as much to clean the room up before installing a new tube. Personally I prefer Tuffy liners I did try Thanos liners but I noticed after a couple of customers having them for about a thousand miles to my personal disappointment the fan of Sliders went from approximately 1 inch thick to about a quarter inch thick, so I no longer will carry those in our store and we only use Tuffy liner, , , , however I heard of a tire liner that is made of solid foam that is not supposed to deteriorate as quickly and it is not supposed to lose its structure. So we may try that

Some sealants react poorly with CO2 and glob up. Best to repair the tire correctly and put fresh sealant and air in once you get home. And by correctly I don't mean to disparage that "bacon strip" plug. Those are great. I've used those in my motorcycle tires for years.

Um. Spin the wheel. The the fluid will work I belive

[alexlutz]

So I don't know if it applies to bikes the same but on a car you should never try to repair sidewall damage. Liquid sealant is a huge mess and never seems to hold up in the long term. Best case it gets it to the point where you can walk it back to the car or on a car get you to a tire shop if its just around the corner. I'd never actually ride or drive on liquid sealant for anything remotely long term(also the tire shop guys are gonna hate you if you use liquid sealant). The best thing to use is a plug kit but you need to ream the hole and ideally use a little bit of rubber cement if possible. And again NEVER attempt a side wall repair. It's extremely dangerous to drive on and that's assuming it actually works long enough to get you up to speed.

Do not use C02, it is not made for tubeless wheels and will lead to future problems. As well as using C02 the tire will not seal.

[shamoy]

Show us how you fix a puncture with a CO2 cartridge when the tire comes off the rim or the sidewall drips open.

[dperreno]

Make sure to let out the CO2 and reinflate the tire with air (tire pump) once you get back home. The CO2 will leak out more quickly and can damage your sealant.

THIS DID NOT STOP PUNCTURES, THIS STOPPED LEAKS

[samtatge]

At last! Saved from the tyranny of swapping an inner tube.
