#1 - That looks stupid and counterproductive, puting holes in an inner tube to "fix" it. But I don't think it's as stupid as it looks. Fixing a large gash is hard. So it's actually a cool skill that's now sadly out-of-date in the US. Cheaper and safer to get a new tube, after all.
Fixing it so it will at least hold air, even if it would still have a slow leak. I suppose if they had some rubber cement to apply to the stitching it might slow the leak even more.
#1 - I have this book from my 10 speed bike riding days back in the 70's called "Anybody's Bike Book" which was sort of a funny hippie cartoonish but still technically accurate general maintenance handbook and it talked about sewing up inner tubes and tires. I haven't heard of anyone doing that in many years but it is a thing.
#1 During the depression people would put wheat in a leaky bike tube, wet it, and when it swelled up they would have a non pneumatic but cushy tire. This material may be on the test

DeleteAgreed. I thought that was pretty clever, especially if it worked.
DeleteSew up innertubes are a thing. Made of silk I think. Using the technique on rubber ... in a pinch I guess.

ReplyDeleteI saw some folks doing that in kayaks in Yellowstone. They could ride the wave for a long time and I never saw one of them wipe out.
DeleteThat guy was apparently not in a kayak in Yellowstone.
