Inner Tubes

philvy said:

you dont repair inner tubes, they're cheap as chips (well, 7.5quid chips anyway)
fitting is easy: have your high lift or crow bar ready. deflate, press tyre down with high lift or bar, peel out tube, put vent of new tube in hole and put tube inside, inflate slowly and keep fingers off tyre while doing so.

many if not all series tyres use tubes, so do many offroad tyres.

why would you want to repair it anyway?

Does any body here still use them?

Iv got them in some 7.50 16's that are on my disco, noticed that my tyre had gone flat the other day so swapped it over for the spare and today went to try and get the puncture repaired....how much fun is that NOT

i tried 5 local garages and not one of them can do inner tube repairs, so ended up going to fourplus4 and they are supplying a new inner tube and fitting it for me.

So my question is if you use inner tubes where / how do you repair them can this be done at home by a diy'er etc?

thought it may be worth repairing rather than replacing basically,

when you say press down im assuming the wheel is off the car? and to just try and price the tyre inwards somehow.
do they not seal the same as tubless tyres then?
