Is it possible to patch a hole at the base of the valve (or any hole) of the tube? Today, I will show you a trick to get it done.

Yay! I have an otherwise perfect tube that had this problem. Thank you for your fix!

Partner, I am all for repair and reuse and I am impressed by what you did. But at some point it is better to simply get a new tube.

Yeah, but there are some cases where getting a new tube it's not worth it neither. I have an inner tube without a single patch and there is a leak on the base of the valve, even nearer to the valve stem than the one on the video. I won't throw it to the garbage without giving some fight first.

was the 2nd leak more than a pin hole size? Curious as to why you would need to use the heat to seal a rubber patch repair.... I've never done that on probably 70+ tube repairs I've done... but if the hole is more like a snake bite cut or tear does this process kind of melt the tube rubber and patch rubber together to effectively close a slit type of hole. Then I might have to try sometime. Also, has anyone ever had luck trying something similar on a presta valve at the base where the valve stem is seperating from the rubber.

Great job, unfortunately the presta style stems are metal shafts and the fail right at the base of the stem.

@wadehenkensiefken4259 2 жыл бұрын

ever try the patch over the stem method on the presta??? I'm tired of throwing away tubes because of that failure... If anyone has tried it successfully I'd love to know...

John GTA. I just fixed my inertube valve its verry simple. I don't do the heat sink and torch. I just use a hairdryer to dry it faster and let it dry all night.

@vuaeco 5 жыл бұрын

John, there's no easy method for a big hole like this. This is just a concept so you can apply to fix any holes on your tube, not just for a big hole like this. If it can patch a big hole like this, it can patch any hole.

If such a large ready made patch is not available, one of the options is to make your own patch from an old discarded tube. Just cut a large circular piece from a clean part of the old tube. It will be good enough.

@Sudipto17Kolkata 6 жыл бұрын

Where did it fail? Gumming it up and sticking it will be a challenge. The edges will try to stick out. It's a little tricky but doable in a pinch.

@johngta7172 6 жыл бұрын

i tried large patch, pressed it down with weights for almost 1 hour. no leak on water test - but when u fill up to full pressure (after putting inside tire) - the hole seems to expand and - FAIL. it has happened many times, so now - only if its a small hole -, i patch it. large hole - get new tube
