Spare inner tube: one or two inner tubes suitable for your bicycle 2. Tire sticks: usually two, which can help you take off the outer tire and replace it with a spare inner tube 3. Cold patching film: bring at least five , this is a product that does not require polishing or shearing, and is quick to use. 4.

When you puncture the tire, you don’t have the spare inner tube. Then you can only use the punctured inner tube and move on. If You can save a lot of time and energy by using the spare tire. Replace the punctured inner tube and leave it to be repaired when you go home or stay overnight. Of course, if you are unlucky and encounter the second or third time Puncture a tire and you'll have to fix them on the road. When choosing a spare inner tube, you need to pay attention to whether its specifications match your bicycle and whether the valve can fit your portable pump.

When it comes to the choice of valves, there are three types of valves, one is French style and the second is British style. This type of valve is the most common for us. Ordinary bicycles have valves like this. Equipped with a rubber valve core, the other is an American type, which is what we often call a car valve. Different valves are equipped with different wheels and different pumps, so the valve type you want to choose must also match your wheels. conform to. Then there is the length of the valve, because different wheels and rim heights are different, which requires valves of different lengths.

Steel tire levers are naturally heavier, but From a strength perspective, it's more dominant. The function of the tire lever is independent, and a replacement for it will be introduced in the following content. Cold patch film, this film is used for cold patch bonding, so it is called cold patch film. This is a product that is well processed by the manufacturer. You don’t need to polish it because it is clean and does not need to be polished again. Its structure is divided into three layers. The first layer is protective paper, which plays an isolation role. Before you use it, this paper is used to isolate other foreign objects. After you use it, you should not tear it because It can effectively isolate the bond between the cold patch film and the tire lining. The second layer is the cold patch film itself. It keeps itself clean under the protection of the isolation layer. It is also rubber and has a certain degree of elasticity and toughness. The third layer, tin foil, is the same as the first layer of protective paper. Its function is to isolate and protect the cold patch film. When using it, when you are preparing to bond, gently tear off this layer of tin foil. That's it.

You can choose to walk and enter the relevant location information, and it will be arranged. The routes are all national and provincial roads, there will be no expressways! We can ride bikes everywhere except on highways~ ————————The Baidu Know Team of "Cycling Around the World" welcomes you to join!
