The sitting by the roadside in the rain I described was two "finish nails" through the tire. Punctured the first time, pulled the nail out changed the tube and almost exactly 1 kilometer down the road punctured again, the same kind of nail. I had used up the only spare tube I was carrying, the patches won't stick, it is raining. I was riding with a couple of mates on a wet day and one of them had three punctures. After emptying his two CO2 canisters on the first two punctures, he begged for my pump. The patch worked too. I had some of those glue less, or whatever you call 'em, patches they didn't stick well in the rain, or at least mine didn't :-( In WW2 pilots were given a patch kit for the inflatable life raft they carried, in case they had to ditch in the sea. These patches stuck even when applied in/under the water. I'm pretty sure I have patched tyres in the rain successfully. The problem I remember is my cold fingers having trouble getting the tyre off. I can't speak for your patches but I can assure you that mine didn't stick :-) -- cheers, John B. I was curious about patching a wet rubber coated canvas life raft somewhere in the Pacific in 1945 and found this: http://www.bellsaviation.com/mm5/mer...egory_Code=SKC more recent version, better images: http://www.bellsaviation.com/mm5/mer...o ry_Code=SKC Doesn't look applicable to a bicycle tube. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
