I've personally never ridden on Latex inner tubes.

If I get a puncture on a latex tube I'd prefer to be able to set information technology, given they're a lot more expensive than regular butyl tubes.

My enquiry suggests

  • No, null works, you need to replace the whole tube whenever it punctures
  • No, just you lot can knot them to isolate the hole and then reinflate for the ride home, where yous supplant the tube.

and

  • Yes, with regular tyre patches and vulcanising fluid,
  • Aye, with regular tyre patches and rubber cement
  • Yes, with latex patches cut from some other latex tube, and rubber cement
  • Yep, pre-glued patches (ie "stickers")

But for everyone challenge one of the solutions works, someone else says that it doesn't piece of work.

Is it possible to Patch a puncture on a latex inner tube? and is the patch permanent or simply a become-dwelling prepare ?

  • Probably best to leave tubulars out of this, and focus only on latex innertubes.

  • I can only respond a couple of those: yes, with regular tyre patches and vulcanising fluid; and, yes, with regular tyre patches and "rubber cement" (as in this: amazon.com/Slime-1050-Rubber-Cement-oz/dp/B07H8RLF9G). I've never used pre-glued patches on a latex tube, and I haven't tried latex patches cut from some other latex tube and so I don't know if they'll work -- simply I suspect that they will. Next time I become a flat I'll try and revisit your question.

  • @R.Chung that looks similar an respond correct there (even if it doesn't accost every point).

  • Information technology's possible that a lot of the people that claim method's a, b and c piece of work are only inflating to 70psi or lower, only if they were to inflate to 105psi or higher then they'd understand that their called method doesn't work... Friend claimed those Leyzene glueless patches were the duck's nuts, and so I used them, it was a hot twenty-four hours, tube literally popped on me at the lights when I (randomly) stopped with the patch on the pavement... Turns out she just pumped to about 60psi and here I equally going near double that (not latex, just similar logic applies)

1 Answer 1

It is possible to fix both latex intertubes for clincher tyres and latex inner tubes inside tubular tyres.

Whether you'll be able to practise it, depends on your ability to do information technology.

Every bit you suggest, using a patch fabricated from another latex tube and glue volition work. This webpage suggests using tubular rim glue instead of normal patch mucilage for better results.

That webpage also gives detailed instructions on how to mend a punctured tubular tire.
