How to Patch a bike tire

"How to Patch a bike tire" cover image

Patching a bike's tire inner tube is much easier and faster than it sounds.

You Will Need:

* An inner tube with a puncture

* A bicycle patch kit, consisting of patches, glue, and a square of sandpaper

* A bike tire pump

* A big bowl filled with water (optional)

* Towel (optional)

Using a bowl of water, run the air-filled tube through the water. Look for a stream of bubbles emanating from the tube. That's where your hole is. A good rule of thumb is to replace a tube after you've patched it three times. Bike patches are typically more durable than the tube itself.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
