What is inflate and repair?
The inflate and repair is a compact can that contains air and liquid latex inside.
Repairing the bicycle in the event of a puncture therefore becomes a quick and practical operation, but on one condition only, not having a “major” cut in the tire or inner tube.
The practicality of the inflate and repair can is given by its multiple uses, in fact it can be safely used in the following types of cases:
- latex wheel
- wheel with inner tube
- tubular
So here are five valid reasons to bring an inflating and repairing Air Latex can with us.
- Lightness. The Air Latex inflate and repair can weighs a few grams and is very compact unlike the underseat repair kit made up of an inner tube and clincher lever and underseat compartment to put everything down.
- Speed. No need to disassemble the wheel to repair. Simply slip the can into the valve and it will be fixed in minutes. A nice saving of time to the full advantage of our tour.
- Encumbrance. An inflated and repair can is easily transported in the back pocket of the jersey.
- Ease of repair. Repairing tire requires the same skill as inflating it. If you are not a skilled mechanic, or you simply hate DIY, inflate and repair is the best solution to your problem.
- You can also repair tubulars. The tubular remains a very popular solution among the pros, in fact it turns out to be very light and smooth in spite of the other types of clincher for racing bicycles. Unfortunately, many of us, not having a car in tow during a workout, fitting a tubular tire is not recommended. In the event of a puncture, it would require complete replacement, a very complicated and time-consuming operation. The inflate and repair turns out to be the solution to the problem. It will allow us to get home safely and possibly replace it with all the tools available and the necessary time.
Ultimately, the inflate and repair is an excellent tool that allows us overall to have many advantages, all to the advantage of the ease of repair and the time taken to repair it.
