However, the need for repairs may still arise. In many cases, minor repairs to a tubeless tire can be done on your own on the road and sometimes even without removing the wheel from the car.
For independent minor repairs of tubeless tires on the road, there are special kits for sale.
The kit includes a special needle, a rasp, a container with glue, a knife, a tourniquet for filling punctures.
1. Inspect the tire and locate the damage.
2. Remove the foreign object from the protector.
3. Rasp the inside of the hole. After processing, the surface will be free of dirt, rust and have smooth edges.
4. Remove the protective film from the bundle pieces from the kit...
5.... and separate the bundle from the substrate.
6. Pass the tip of the tourniquet into the eye of a special needle...
7.... and stretch to the middle of the segment.
8. Apply a layer of adhesive from the kit to the tourniquet. Also treat the surface of the hole in the tire with glue.
9. Insert the tip of the needle into the hole.
10. Press the needle handle to push the tourniquet into the hole so that both ends of the tourniquet about 10 mm long remain outside.
11. Pull the needle sharply out of the hole.
12. Trim the ends of the harness remaining on the surface flush with the tread.
13. Wait for the time specified in the instructions supplied with the repair kit for the adhesive to cure, and inflate the wheel to the recommended pressure.
The described repair method does not replace professional repair in a specialized workshop. This is just a way to solve a problem that has arisen along the way and safely complete the trip. However, after a high-quality self-repair, in many cases the wheel can be operated until it is completely worn out.
