I set off on a bike ride the other day, cycled past some fellow cyclists having a drink in a local pub, turned the corner and bunnyhopped off the road onto the pavement, upon which I got a pretty major puncture 🙁 .
Embarrasingly, I walked back past the cyclists (much to their amusement) that I had cycled past a minute ago, to get back to the car.
I then remembered I was cycling on my spare tube, and had no puncture repair stuff.
I really didn’t want to head home, so I decided to try and wrap some insulation tape around the puncture, I wrapped it around 3 strips wide, on the semi inflated inner tube, before deflating and refitting to the wheel. To my surprise, it worked perfectly, and has yet to lose any pressure over a week later.
Just wondering if anyone else has done this?
I know it’ll be my go to fix in the future, having reached a total of 17 puncture patches once, the faff it will save is massssiiivvvveee!!!
