      1 dolla bill for 5 dollars! it would have the Seth's Bike hacks logo on it and be a special colour. it would be from same material as dollar bill but customised to fit seth's channel. lol that would be cool!

    I slashed both brand new folding tires on a piece of glass on my mtb years ago, used the dollar bill hack to get home.
    Then I sewed up the 1" gash with dental floss and rode the tires at 35 & 40psi until the tread was gone.
    Another hack is to inflate the tube to the width of the tire and then wrap a section of the tube with duct tape so that it can't expand anymore, and line up the sidewall hole with the duct tape... no sidewall bulge.

    Last week, I was biking back home from work and I got a flat. Like a beginner, I replaced the innertube without figuring out why the flat happened in the first place, I pedal 10 seconds and the new innertube also went flat. That’s when I looked, and I saw a small tear in the sidewall. My memory went back to a bike hack video of five years ago in which I saw Seth use a one dollar bill… All I had was a $20 bill of course because I’m rich and famous. I patched the innertube, stuck in the folded $20 bill, And I’ve been writing fine since! Thank you, Seth from the past.

    Hey Seth, I keep a 2-3 inch piece of road tire just for this purpose. It really works! You don't need to glue it in, and because it's a piece of tire it's really strong. Take it easy.

    • @chuckNORRIS950
      @chuckNORRIS950 7 лет назад +2

      Same with Canada, my go to for a DIY boot is a bit of the tubes box wrapped in electrical tape so it wont get soggy, taped to the inside of the tire so it wont shift. I ran this for about 3 weeks under the tread because I ran over a nail and couldn't afford a new tire at the time (fixed gear too, so it saw some skidding). I don't recommend doing it for that long.

  • @zacharysandstrom8334

    Great video! I think you still need to address the "Will this get me home?" question. Tires deform on literally every revolution, creating movement in between the tube and the tire (hence you tubes getting slightly fused to the tire after a while. I'd be interested to see how the bill fares against adhesive options, and how those adhesive options compare against each other.

    Very interesting video and a good variation of patches. Although it woul have been more significant if you would have installed the tire and ride it a good bit before inspecting the result.
    With the stress wile riding the rubber would have had a lot of work to do and the result would have been more towards a real life test...

    An empty GUE packet took me 10miles before failure, I then switched it out for a dollar bill and it took me home another 50 miles. Criticality we only passed 4 cars when I we were out in the middle of nowhere. So this was great information to have. Thank you

    to 1:31 this is something you can find all over the german language.
    In english you say tire patch.
    we germans just put the words for tire (Reifen) and patch (Flicken) together and form a new word. This works basically for every combination of two or more words you can combine in a way that makes sense.

    Hey Seth! There's also sewing the tyre back together with dental floss!
    All you need is a thick needle and a little bunch of floss that you knott on both sides after and before sewing the tear back together.
    I actually have multiple high quality tyres sewed back together that customers at the shop abandon because sewing them back together for them is not a 'professional' option, but as an example I ride a Schwalbe Big Apple on my rat cargo bike that I've done many many kilometers on and it holds up as if there were no tear at all, best touring solution too as far as my experience goes!

    Seth nice stuff. I'm more of a roadie myself but recently had a sidewall tear on an old tire during a ride. A former racer/roadie friend of mine had given me his version of a tire boot to keep in my saddle bag and it worked great to get my home pumped to around 100 psi. His boot is a section of an old tire (road tire of course) that was cut to be about 3" long. Just put it in place like your dollar bill. Roadies also have used parts of Tyvek bags that you get in shipping from UPS/FedEX/USPS, again in a similar manner to the dollar bill.
    I was thinking that for the MTB tires you could cut a part of an old sidewall (removing the bead and tread area) and use that as a boot similar to what my friend gave me. One old tire would result in dozens of boots.

    Nice demo. I always carry a Park tire boot, which I've used successfully, on a tubed tire. Haven't needed to try this on a tubeless with sealant though. I wonder about adhesion, so always carry a few alcohol wipes to clean up the patch area. I've sewn up a big tubeless sidewall gash with hd nylon thread, mostly out of curiosity, and it sealed up and rode just fine w Stans. Not wanting to press my luck, replaced tire soon after... Loved the trail dog vid. Ha.

    I had a feeling the dollar would perform well because it's such good material, but dang! It did far better than I thought!

    great stuff! I have DEF used the dollar bill hack as well as have used an empty Gu gel pack, no I just keep a few small pieces of cut up inner tube in my kit, have used that a few times with great success

    Was riding a century and blew a hole in my sidewall. I used a GU wrapper to brace it and it rode the rest of the 70 or so miles. Would like to see a gel wrapper tested

    bought some tire boots hoping to fix a nearly new tubeless tire with a tear in the tread. Tried glueless patch, glued patch, and now automotive tire plug... Hoping the reifenflicken finally gets the job done!

    Seth, love your videos man. I watch them all. Would love to see a video of Markham's new wooden feature which I believe will be a wall ride of some sorts once it's opened! Keep it up!!!

    I've ridden 40 miles home at 85 psi using a dollar. This hack saved my ride. Never leave home without it again.

    Used the duct tape on my road bike. Worked so well I didn't even bother to replace the tyre. Held on for 3 months at 7.5 bars just fine, until i replaced the tyres because they were worn

    I've got an old Schwinn 24" S6 tire (hard to find), that had a 3 inch bulge balloon out, like a tumor. So, thanks, for the various hack suggestions, and stress tests. I'll try some glue, then some 4" length of fabric, then about 4 layers of tape. Wish me luck.

    Keen to see a tubeless tyre repair video. Hack or actual repair. I just put a tear in the wall of my $120 new Asegai tyre.

    Bills are often made of cotton, so you are patching the tire fabric hole with another fabric, i.e. a material with similar characteristics. That's why it holds so well.

    Hi Seth what we use are little pop bottles cut in half and cut to size these then wrap round the tube and cover the tear in the tyre. Let me know what you think to our hack 👍
