Quick and Dirty ATV tire repair
Got a flat ATV tire? No repair supplies? No problem!! *
You need:
- Screwdriver
- Old shoe laces (the softer the better)
- Rubbery glue
Cut the shoe laces in small strings (around 8 cm in lenght); join two or three strands side by side, pour glue on, make sure they stay together while drying; don’t wait until the glue is completely dry; try to stick some glue inside the puncture hole; double up the glued shoe lace strings, and with the screwdriver stick it inside the puncture, try to get about 2 or 3 cm in; pump some air into the tire; put some more glue on the outside; let it dry! You should cut the excess length after it dries, about 1 cm from the tire.
* I will not be held responsible if it doesn’t work for you, either right away or with catastrophic results while riding. The lawyer in me made me write this. Now seriously, don’t do this with car or regular motorcycle tires, ATV tires are much more resistant to DIY “treatments”.
