2:40 When tube is getting fixed
whatever is on my shirt is not sweat the shirt is in the trash now
Nick Mcdonald who cares bro, you make good content keep it up
Nick Mcdonald hey can I use Krazy glue ?
Nick Mcdonald cool story bro! 👍🏼
Dude I actually want to try this when I pop my tire! This looks so simple, love it dude🤘
Nick Mcdonald Will this method work on a valve stem?
It’s 6 year later and you’re still helping people. you sure helped me today, thanks 👍🏼
I used your super glue and paper method to fix a puncture on my road bike 3 days ago. It's still holding 100 psi. I'm amazed. :)
XDM50 yeah I run 80 in my BMX bike and it holds just fine
For real? How long did it last? I’d like to try it on my road bike that just got a puncture. But i don’t know if i can use it on long rides.
@@leftyseel8658
Only one way to find out - try.
( But bring a spare tube with you, in case of).
@@BarnacleBoyFishing it didn't stick for me lol not even for a week
Yep it works, used this method for the front tire 1 month ago, perfect seal. The back tire had a flat a few days ago, did same thing, still holding. I botched the first try of sealing the back tire, I used too much glue, it did not hold. It only takes one small drop right on the pinhole leak to do the trick, then apply a small patch of paper and light pressure. I Leave the paper on.
There's no bike shops open cause of the quarantine, so this literally saved me a 10 mile walk (with bike + groceries). Big thanks!
No problem!
@@BarnacleBoyFishing Any idea on how long will it last? almost 5 hs, so far so good. I'll be more than amazed if i holds till tomorrow.
Update: 2 years, several paper patches, no leaks.
@@trajtembergthanks dude
This is amazing, actually works! On holiday without a repair kit and this meant my 3 yr old boy could keep riding his bike. Thanks so much
I did this to an old bike I was ready to donate to goodwill and let someone else repair it. I rode it close to home occasionally and at 185lbs that I am and two months later, the tube still has 60psi. A step further I had to take a look see. I pulled out roughly twelve inches of deflated tube and saw that the glue actually formed a seal on the two holes. No cracking, just a smooth as glass bead of dry glue over the hole. I did use the Gorilla glue and allowed it to dry for about 10 minutes before inflating. I did donate it after the two months. Thanks for that tip.
Fix ur writing I don't understand
Now that it is impossible to find inner tubes and patch kits anywhere in the Chicago area ( due to the shut down everyone has been biking and hitting up the local bike and sporting goods store for supplies) your home made patch method is a great idea for all of us with flats!
Hey Nick...its been 15 min as I text this to you and so far tire still solid at 90 psi...I walked 5 miles to bike shop to fix my flat and I guess the employee didn't like his job because he failed as a professional bike mechanic to check the inner tire for sharp debris...I made it unaware back home to notice a flat again...thanks to you I checked and found the wire needle that punctured my new tube. Well 30 min now and still holding up...amazing! Thanks so much. Your trick is golden!
Angel Martinez I'm glad I could help 👍👍
Should have ridden back and complained to the store
I've just repaired my Brompton using the superglue and paper method and it works like a charm. This should be the industry standard for bike tube repair. We'll done for the life hack find 👏👏👏
Honestly I didn't trust this method because superglue dries as a hard crystal and it would crack at the first spin, but I ran out of rubber glue and I had to try.
The result: It works!! It's been 3 days and there's not any leakage. I think I will not buy any fixing-kit again! this method is cheaper, easier and faster.
One advice: try to sand the surface before applying the glue, it will improve the adherence.
Thanks a lot dude!
Can I use clear gorilla glue?
@@gosulanre6669 did you try the gorilla glue ? Did it work ?
Awesome, My wife bumped into pavement with low tire pressure. Tube and tire both got 1/4 inch cut. Bought DAP($5.00) super glue from Menard. Applied DAP on Tire slit got cured perfectly outside and inside both. Put electric tape inside the tire to cover up uneven glue spot after an hour. Applied DAP on tube , then pressed piece of old tube on it. after an hour put all back on the rim. My wife biked 11 miles still air on it 100%. Great idea. Thanks DUDE. 👍👌🚲
Thank you I had 3 holes in my tube used your method and my bike has been good for a week now
3 miles to work and 3 miles home
Thank you for the awesome "how to"🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I’m playing mechanic for my kids bikes today.. not something I’m very good at. But it’s try to fix it or no one rides bike this summer. I was adding tubes to my Walmart order and decided to try to patch myself.. about to give this a go! Thanks so much!
Worked on my mountain bike. Patched it and inflated yesterday, rode 40km today, tire is solid. Great tip, dude!
Thanks, it helps. While I don't have many holes. Good story comes!
Once I did a 10 000 km or 6K miles journey, without a kit.
After half way, I got one, in the middle of nowhere. It was fixed in half an hour, in a garage by nice Spanish people. Galvanized!
After I was riding in remote areas. Nothing for 10 miles or more. I have grown nervous. Finally, I bought a kit with 12 patches. I bought some food and gas for the camping stuff. After 10 minutes I found a perfect picnic place. I left the bike in the paved parking and had dinner a few meters away.
As I started my journey, I had a flat tire. The rear, of course. I fixed, and I had once again, noticed before take off. I checked in the creek. I had ..... 12 HOLES .... around the tube, evenly distributed !
Still today, I have no idea, how this is possible.
Luckily, I had a spare tube with one hole. I fixed that one, and I had no issues again, for thousands of miles! Tell me if pilgrimage is not spiritual.
Just did this 3 days ago, absolute brilliant, tire still holding air, found thorn and pulled that out. Could not run to bike store so used Krazy super glue, pumped to 50 PSI, all good!!
Good thing for RUclips man. I was getting so frustrated trying to put a regular patch on it including slime. Yet it wouldn't hold air. But I searched on here and found your video. And it works really good man. Thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
Use fine sandpaper (100 grit) around the hole making sure the rubber dust gets into the hole. Next put tiny amount of Super Glue on the hole with the rubber powder in it. Biggers hole can be repaired the same way except put a 1" disc of old inner tube over the hole that has been covered with a light coat of Super Glue. Also if you are careful you can repair cuts up to a half inch with super glue.
also I like to share a tip for anyone who doesn't have super glue here's how to make homemade super glue, if you have lawnmower laying in your garage or anything uses gasoline once you get ahold of gasoline find any
( styrofoam cup , plate anything that's made out of styrofoam mix both gasoline and styrofoam together styrofoam will dissolve into gasoline keep on adding more and more styrofoam untill you see that's mix has gotten to same texture as Super glue not to liquidy or too thick . Go search homemade super glue here RUclips give you guys see how too . This great video who knew paper get someone out of a bicycle jam . I subscribed to this channel easy like thumbs up
thank you I will look into that homemade super glue !
Great video and alternate tube repair idea Nick!
Super Glue alone will fix most leaks if they aren't too big. You just need to get it down into the hole so it can glue the rubber back together. Instead of paper you could also use a piece of an old tube or even a thick balloon to provide extra support to the patched area.
Thanks bud! This got me out of a pinch and saved me some $$$. To find the leak, I just inflated the tire and sprayed it down with soapy water and sure enough it began bubbling up right where the very tiny leak was. Turned out to be a very small sliver of glass. I did this before pulling out the tube to see if the tube actually split open or if it's a legit puncture. Doing it this way, I was able to locate the puncture on both the tire and the tube at the same time, remove the glass and then just pull out that portion of tube and do your patch and pop it back in. Hopefully this helps someone in addition to your excellent patch hack!
Thanks Nick! I've been riding bikes for 46 years and I never knew this was an option! Amazing! I subbed.

OMG I DID THIS AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED, thank you so much my dude
Thanks Nick, never too old to learn from a young guy.
No problem !
Didnt work
@@stepheng6514 elaborate G
I had a question and needed confirmation. I found the answer in a 7-year-old video. Thank you, Nick, for your assistance.
Seems plausible in theory and my only concern would be the pretty good likelihood that water that gets into the tire will disintegrate the pulp fibers of the paper. Also I have learned to use a very soft rag to detect any sharp protrusions inside the tire as it is much easier on the fingers. Thanks for illustrating the importance of a correctly aligned air stem (especially in aggressive moto-cross riding because that reduces the chance of cutting the valve base with the edge of the rim hole during a jump, etc. The flag is a concern to some folks and I get that so if it detracts from your message it might be something that could be covered so as not to distract viewers.
Might also suggest putting a piece of cardboard over the pool table to keep the felt cuts to a minimum. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work.
I needed to patch a tube and had nothing but super glue. I was skeptical that this would work. I also don't check the Inside of my tire. Well come to find outbI had two small leaks and a very small sliver of metal In my tire. Went through your whole process. And It worked fantastically.
Thank you for this video
yea I knew there was some way to fix with super glue Im not buying another fucking tube TY
Nathan Sifuentez you are welcome I knew people could use it so I was like why not
I was thinking a repair kit basically just has some kind of glue and something to stick on top but a piece of paper is the last I thing would've thot of anyway I'ma give it a try
I have used cardboard pretty much anything I can find laying around
@@BarnacleBoyFishingBro i used a plaster and a tiny bit of glue before and it stayed pumped up untill i got another puncher in a diffrent place 😂😂
this young man is a genius. it worked. thanks
Confederate flag got me messed up
wow this was awesome! I bought some cheap clueless patches and they sucked. I didn't wanna go to the store again and spend more money. so I looked up ways and found your video. tried it and it work and holds. thanks man!
Just did this but with a piece of an old tube instead of paper and worked very well! One thing to note about using tube though, don't make the piece to big and don't use tons of glue because it will cause that part of the tube to not be able to expand. I did this on my first one and it made my tire wobble a bit because of the unevenness of that one part of the tube.
This is the Pro Tip. As you can see in this Confederate Loser (they lost the war) video, he barely puts any Super Glue on. Best bet to use as little glue as possible.
I'm gonna do this but with my tyre ill use my old tube it looks like a cut but it could be worn it's only 2 yrs... 💀 I'll cover it with the tube on both sides.
Oh I accidentally did that……
this man deserves an award seriously thank you
Thanks, Nick, for sharing this. My son's scooter has 6" tires with inner tubes, one of which had a hole in it. I tried three times to patch the hole using my regular bicycle patch kit, but each time the repair failed (probably because the scooter tires require such high pressure, 85 PSI). Luckily, I came across your video and I just tried your method, and it's holding fine at full pressure. I never would've thought of trying super-glue.
Literally didn’t believe this in the beginning luckily I had super glue so I tried it and I’m honestly so amazed works perfect thank you got your self a new sub and a like 👍🏼
j.j.I j.j.j.j.j.j.jjj.j j.lj.j.jj.j.j.j.and and and j,
thanks you saved me 3 dollars
in my country that is almost 600.000Bsf dude
Plus half an hour of traveling to the bike store
Nice Dixie flag, douchebag.
I try to fix my
Saved me 2,382 pesos
Awesome thanks for the help. I knew there had to be a cheaper, easier quicker way than doing it the old patch method. Keep up the great work with new school methods using household items! Peace!
Dude this helped me big time. I did this diy patch this morning and tasted it out a couple rides and it's still holding. That is one really Good idea and smart as hell! A money saver for sure!
@Aghilas I was just going to my old comment to give an update. And dude it's been a good month n a half and still using that super glue n paper. I'm just mind boggled that it still holds. Now it's held from jumping off curbs, riding wheelies n slamming the tire back down. This young man has saved me money and other people so he's awesome as shit in My book!!!!
Your truly amazing. Have an awesome attitude and personality ❤ patched mine and has held for months. 🚲👍🏻
Yeah he's displaying the Confederate flag in the background, but I honestly tried his technique and I have to tell everyone that this procedure is undeniably amazing! I will never buy another patch kit in my life again. The tire is holding at 95 PSI and so far I've written it past 35 miles over potholes, uphill Etc. The only difference is that I used strips of shipping tape instead of paper. I simply don't believe it. This guy knows exactly what he's talking about. Sincere thanks Nick.☺😇🖒
Just FYI: Superglue is NOT recommended for patching inner tubes because it eats/degrades rubber and certain plastics. I tried this out of curiosity and it only lasted one day, granted your mileage may vary but if you use super glue eventually it will fail. Ideally you should just buy a new tube but if you must patch it for an instant fix then use either rubber cement or a plastic/rubber safe quick setting epoxy.
Ok safety bob, lol
Literally just about to set off to work and Pssssssssst!
No patches to hand but I have super glue and paper... patched and back on bike in less than 2 minutes.... I know this tube is now junk but hopefully get me back home tonight and to a bike shop later today on my lunch... thank you my dude... I’ve super glued tubes before in a pinch but I never thought about adding the paper patch..
I had a small hole like that too, and this video helped a lot, and it is cheaper and easier hell yea thanks man
No problem 🤘🤘
I work In a bike shop that's a smart idea for quick easy patch. When your on the road if you don't have a new tube to use then this is a good back up. I tried it works very well . I like the confederate flag cool
THANKYOU NICK,AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GRANDMA!
Jesus saves
I've watched this video and saw you grow from a little toddler to the young man you are. I was quite excited to finally get to the part where you show how to patch a bike tube. Worth going through your life story!
Show some manners this lad has helped a lot of people be nice or leave !!
The only thing I changed with this is take one old tube, and cut it up for lots of patches instead of the paper. Works well.
Same
Haha I do the same
The paper is not used as a patch. No patch material is required in this method. The paper is only to use during the sealing of the glue and to not get it on your fingers. This method needs no patching material as long as it's a pin hole size or close.
Thank you to every single one of you in this thread as well! Sliced off a tiny piece of an old tube, patched it to the puncture together with crazy glue, and I’m rolling again!
Dose it last long
finally succeed after a few tries!! bond paper dont stick well to the tube. So i used a thin cardboard, tear off some layer to make sure it is thin enough to be flexible, then a little sanding with 2000grit sandpaper. proceeded with the instructions and now my road bike tire is holding well
Sometimes just need a simple fix... I did this for my wheelbarrow tires and it worked perfect. Good post, thanks for sharing
This guys a stinkin genius I can’t believe this worked how crazy
10 minutes to say: Superglue bit of paper over hole.
init
Dude you're a fuckin genius. I have an electric scooter that I ride almost every day. I looked everywhere for a new inner tube but the only place I could find it is online and it's expensive. But for less than a buck it's working perfectly. Thank you thank you thank you. If you were in my town I'd buy you a beer.
You could determine where the punctured area by dipping it in water.
The bubbles will tell you
I know this video is like 6 years old but I just want to say thank you brother you saved my ass and my job today😂
An alternative to paper: superglue + electrical tape. I keep a roll of tape in my saddlebag; the bonus is that if you have a tire blowout, wrapping it in electrical tape can buy you enough miles to get back home or to your car.
Second this, I ended up here as that's my normal method but I've rang outta electrical tape so was looking for other options. Bout to go ahead and give it a bash
Can you do this with duct tape?
@@samhain7548 Probably, but I haven’t tried it. Electrical tape is fairly puncture-proof. I’ve started lining the inside of my tires with 2 layers of electrical tape (between the tire and the tube). Haven’t had a single flat tire on the last 2 sets of tires (5200 total miles so far).
Hey thanks man I ride my bike to school but one day I went on the shoulder of the road so I wasn’t in the way so I’ve been having to walk to school so thanks again preciate man
Thank you, saved us a trip to walmart and 20 bucks. Buy you a beer next time we see you.
I didn’t believe this but when I tried it it worked perfect on my bmx!!
I've never bought a kit, I'vee always used super glue and a piece of old rubber inner tube for a patch.
I scrape the punctured tube and piece of donor rubber from old inner tube, apply super glue, quick flash of fire from lighter to the glue, same to donor rubber piece, stick on and put lots pressure a small drop again on the edges of the sealed patch and quick fire on the patch and Walla fixed. Never fails
Nick what camera are you using? I like the quality.
I'm late sorry si many hate comments I dont check much but it's a Panasonic g7
your a genius man when i ride my motorized bike like 30 40 miles out and get a flat it sucks one day this could save me man!
i try this i put a piece of paper on my wife mouth and stop talking laudly 😂😂😂😂
Alvin Villareal so funny good English 12/10
Edmondnazaryan@hotma
😂
No no no no no
Alvin Villareal r/youngpeople
This works sooo good my bike tire popped And I trying this and now it's good as new 100/10
Tryed not trying
Tried not tryed
I could manage to fix my son’s bike, thank you for the video it was very helpful 🙏🏻👍🏻
Guys this is not fake it worked thank you😁 I was so surprised that it worked
Nick good vid, yea i had that crooked valve once and used a smidge of washing up liquid on the valve stem, then wiggle it a bit and it usually comes straight again. have a good day now, Pete (uk)
I would’ve never thought about that. That is a good idea.
Dislike for confederate flag
Lucky dislike for like for confederate flag
It’s not a sign of racism its a representation of the southern lifestyle🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
😆
Oneforall&allforOne and the video didn’t even help me
Sounds like a personal problem. You didn’t have to watch this video nor comment
Dude you just saved our family’s Sunday bike ride.
Bro i did this last night on my kids bike and had to do it on mine went downtown and its still holding thx bro big help i subbed
Ricky Spanish you are welcome
Thanks bro my bike has been pumped for two years and I was like sick of it so I wanted to know how to patch my bike tube and boom you pulled up and then you help me and it hasn’t pop sense I love you so much and I’m gonna follow you
Bro i can’t watch this his people fought for slavery😩😩😩
Wrong video for me
I clicked the video, saw the flag, and peaced out lmao
You can't be hatin' bro, don't be sad, I doubt that kid wants slavery back, he just wants to help you fix your tube lmao
Blas C that’s possible but I’m not gonna watch a video, no matter how informative, if the dude has a flippin swastika flag either 😂 I’ll find the same info from someone who doesn’t have racist memorabilia hanging in their house 😅
Blas C who said I was hating i jus said I can’t watch it due to the history of the flag I don’t agree with what his ancestors fought for not all whites but particularly the ones in the south it’s true history we all learned in school I’m not hating and didn’t say he wanted to I just said I’m not supporting the video
Out of all the geniuses in the world, it works. That bike feeling was awesome again today, thanks mate!
He has a big hole in the wall he's trying to patch too?
It works.Thank you so much.
getting better and better with vlogs
Just did this on my 2.50-10 Honda Spree Tire that holds 33psi and it seems fine for now. Coming from my tire shop experience... use that couple days to get a new tube, last thing you want is a flat tire on a highway or bush road
wtf! dude its a great tutorial, but why you have te confederate Flag in the back?
yea, kinda shocking to see that in this day and age...
I mean it’s just a piece of cloth, people make it worse than it is
@Yeison vargas bermudez it is less of a flag of rebellion now a days and more of a flag to symbolize US Southern heritage
There's no need for bigotry
Doesn’t mean he automatically hates black people. Y’all should do your own research instead of relying on what the school taught ya.
Are we gonna talk about the flag in the background
back in my day we just used the packaging for the superglue. good enough to get you home.
Thank u for your method I have already saved so much money because of u and whoever thinks it don't work they haven't tried it and like he said only on small holes on tubes
Now show us how superglue and paper would work on that flag behind you.
You are a genius and we need more people like that. Thanks man I’ll put that on my top list 😊👌🏾
I just used this method to patch a few holes on one of my tires and it worked like a charm.
thank you sir for keeping this video up your a gentleman and a scholar
Dude thanks. Im broke as fuck right now this is the ghetto magic i was looking for
Kyle Hendrickson lmao thanks man ! It's cool to help out
Kyle H buy a roll of electrical tape for a lifetime supply of patches
Thanks mehn I needed this
I am surprised that the unflexible superglue holds on the flexible and bending rubber.
I love your video so much I hope you don’t stop making video about bike because I need to learn from you how to fix my bike
Wonder how many jacka**es disliked the video due to that background.🦊👍
All the dislikes lol
That is a future engineer, f' knows why this got all that hate, must be a agnsty youth thing, this young man sees solutions, most people see problems. Great video, hope you do well in life chap.
I did this and got glue on my lip
WHAT
Christopher Niemczyk Abebrese 😂😂 it’s easy to do!
dude nice
Went through 5 videos and I like what you're preaching. I'm going to give this a shot. I thought about using super glue but never followed through. Liked & followed. Thanks.
Hey man if you see this nice haro I'm fixing the bearings on my back hub right now on my haro and I have the same problem my tube popped and it super small hole and this is gonna help alot man thanks
Truly appreciate your kindness in sharing your info and your expertise. Had a flat and stores were closed due to Corona virus. This worked perfectly. I have a question though. How do you feel about the Confederate flag in the background? It seems so incongruous with the mature and helpful person teaching us this great method. I can't help but associate that flag with slavery, lynching, violence and injustice. You seem like such a great human being. Why the flag?
I'm glad I could help !
All you can do is bitch about his flag? STFU snowflake !
this is the greatest hack I've ever done👍👍:-) :-)
Nick,I redid that tube with a piece of heavy duty black electrical tape ( super stick kind) and put it over the hole after I removed the piece of cardboard and it is holding really good now. I did that first thing this morning after I got up and here it is several hours later and the tube is still full of air. I don't know why the glue and cardboard didn't work. Maybe I didn't do it right. I don't know. But thanks for the tip on this video.
Cool,thanks my man.good job,gonna give it a shot right now
Need to go on national television and make every one smile
hey thanks man, i was gunna try melting an old tire and dripping the rubber on the hole, you should test that for me because you probably get more holes than me haha. also idk why so many people are mentioning the flag in the background of a bike video where you only talked about bikes. haha
andy ford ikr idk and you are welcome ! I'll try that
stfu
FIxed my son's bike yesterday. Went on a 10 mile ride today and still holding up. Thank you.
