Push bikes and punctures

[Andy Collins]

Ta daaaa, problem solved. Went to the cycle shop and the old boy had some old fashioned fixing glue, in a large tin with a brush to apply it, made by Weldtite, and strips of patching stuff, cut to size. This was the stuff I used to use, one-touch and theyre fixed brilliant and fast.

I think the old stuff used to melt the rubber of the tube and the patch and literally weld them together, whereas the new stuff it's probably just an everything-friendly glue.

And kids at school used to put it in bags, sniff it and see little green men....

Ive spent many an afternoon bending my mums spoon handles trying to get my bike tyre off, brings back good memories.

 

 

dont get a lot of punctures but when I do, i keep a spare tube in my bag and just change it for a new one.

 

Its not like me not to mend stuff but i dont trust them once they have been repaired .

god this takes me back we used to cut up the old inner tubes and then use them for patches becouse we were skint ha ha think my record for a inner tube with repairs to the tube was about 18 patches then the tube just split completely .. my brother had a grifter and pumped the tyres up rock hard at a petrol station wheelied of the kerb landed and the tyre exploded like a bomb going off happy days ....
