    A few things I have learned about patching/booting the inside of the tire: (1) Brake parts cleaner is very effective for cleaning the away the sealant residue. That's what Stan of Stan's Sealant recommends. (2) Rough the inside of the tire fairly gently unless you want to expose the fabric tire threads. I've learned that the hard way. (3) If I have time or if it is a bigger cut, I will reinstall the tire with a tube to make sure that the patch is adhered really well to the inside of the tire. An hour or so at 50 psi with a tube will press the patch onto the inner wall better than you can ever possibly achieve by pressing with your fingers.

    Excellent. A few months ago I got home and patched the tyre from the inside exactly as I would do with an inner tube. It worked fine. I repeated the process yesterday with a second puncture. I have some plus-size maxxis tyres which they don't make anymore. This video shows me what else I can do to keep 'em rolling. Thank you Doddy.

    When you insert the bacon strip in the tire, you need to give it a slight turn so it will create a small knot inside the tire then pull it out.

    Thx for the tips Doddy. I used the sidewall sewing technique a couple years ago on a nearly new conti raceking sealing it with rubber cement.
    I ran it tubed succesfully several rides. Then decided to see how it sealed and held tubeless and was able to extend the tire life many more rides.

    The german Bike magazine had a test with tyre silents, and they made some hacks too. One hack was putting glasfiber in the milk (they took a rasp and simply raped some glasfiber) some 0.5-2mm parts, the second one was almost the same only with rubber from an old tyre, then they mixed it at the third tyre. All theese contaminated silents where much more effective at filling longer cuts or bigger holes. I have done also something similar at my set, I just didn't cleaned the dryed silent from my tyres just rubed it off the surface, so I had some dry latex in the wheel, didn't had to go home or use anything when I had an 8mm cut at my backwheel could continue the race (marathon) after putting in some air.

    Pro tip. Gorilla tape on the inside works perfectly. Clean and dry the tube off, tape it, warm it up with a lighter to melt the glue on, done. That will last the life of the tire. I always have a bit of gorilla tape on my frame and a lighter and a small bit of shop cloth in my kit.👍

      I run a bike maintenance program for a local high school. We patch around 15-20 tubes per week. Using the old tubes with rubber cement helps us save on patching materials and we use up old tubes. The best part is, though, that you can make the patch whatever size and shape you need, and if you need a really long patch, it makes the bond stronger. This is a great idea. Not sure why more people don't do it. Seth posted it as a hack a few years back.

    Always used the Panaracer Tubeless Repair Kit (since roughly 2008). Not ideal for quick 'race' fix as you need to glue the plug and let it dry for a few mins, but more than enough for all other 'plugable situations'. Get roughly 20-25 repairs from a kit and they've always outlasted the life of the tyres, never needed to patch them afterwards.

    Those Plugs can be a bit more of a permanent fix if you put some Vulcanizing liquid on them when you do the plug. Makes em slide in a bit easier too. They have a perfect size tube for a trail side fix in a standard tube tire patch kit. I carry fixes for both as you never know when you might need to help a mate.

Found it a little fiddly getting new tyres to seat on bead without a boost pump but plenty of soap suds and pumping a bit faster on track pump and core removed from valve. Need to get myself a repair kit but until then I shall carry a inner tube.

    Pro tip- use the adhesive prior to inserting the plug. Put some around the puncture and some on the plug itself. It will help hold it in if you manage to get it on the plug and inside the tire much better than just applying it on the outside.

    the teeth on that little blue handled applicator tool Doddy is using are so close together I struggled to get the bung inserted and was concerned that the applicator would not leave it in the tyre when applied...so my advice is to force the teeth apart a little bit before you take it out on a ride and have to use it... would also recommend upgrading to a dual ply tyre, I swapped from WTB vigilante and trail boss light to the tough versions and have had no sidewall tears since (the light versions are made from tissue paper)

    I do a lot of urban mountain biking and I'm considering putting tubes back in because I get so many holes from glass and things.....costing me a ton of money in tires

    At 4:20. I don't understand, you say ''You won't loose any tire pressure'' You removed the valve core thats what keeps the air in how can there be air in the type with the valve coe off? Am I missing something?

    Can you use a normal tube patch on the tire?

      Hi Eric, We doubt that would work just because the tread of the tyre would stop it from sticking. Also, it would easily get knocked off when riding. Thanks for the question! 👍

      I bet it would be horrible, imagine fitting that on a mtb rim, it would need to be unbelievably massively tight so it would not roll of the rim when riding and also you couldn't adjust the tyre pressure at all. So I don't think that would ever work 🤔

    whats the difference between a boot and a regular patch? (the only thing i have noticed is maybe patch is for tube and boot is for tire?)

    Can you add some info about the valves. Numerous times over the years I've had problems with the valves getting fouled with sealant so they don't close properly. Creating a slow leak which is quite apparent an hour later on the trail. I periodically take the valve apart and clean them up and this seems to work...to a point. Should I be replacing the valves every couple of years or less?

    • @Nkprf

      Valve cores are considered wear items when it comes to tubeless. They are very cheap to replace. Buy a big pack of them and replace them when they start getting clogged. Not worth the effort of cleaning them.
