Earlier today on the way out i noticed i had a flat, and of course i discovered i had lost or thrown out the patches to repair it. I use the bike everyday so i need it, and instead of hiking to a bike shop i decided to quick fix it using a cut out patch from a old tube and super glue.
i had doubts about this as super-glue is brittle and doesn't flex ,so i assumed this kind of cheap repair would reveal itself to be a complete waste of time, well no, i have rode 8 miles and its still going strong, and i will leave it until i need to repair it again.
maybe i have discovered a almost free method of tube repairs? considering it costs me near a fiver for patches and glue { halfords sold em separately ,}
