tube Repair and Replacement
If a tube is punctured or damaged, you should replace
it as soon as possible. A tube that is repaired may not
have the same reliability as a new one, and it may
fail while you are riding.
If you need to make a temporary repair by patching
a tube or using an aerosol sealant, ride cautiously
at reduced speed and have the tube replaced before
you ride again.
Anytime a tube is replaced, the tyre should be carefully
inspected as described.
