This is how I fix bicycle flats. I never use the patch way. Been riding bicycle for years. I find most bicycle tire flats are caused by running over a thorn. The best way I’ve found to fix this is with Slime Tube Sealant. You can find Slime Tube Sealant 16 fl oz. at Amazon (affiliate link) : https://amzn.to/2xfijHw
The Slime sealant works instantly on tube tires. It repeatedly seals punctures for up to two years. Slime Tube Sealant is non toxic and non corrosive. Ideal for bicycles, wheelbarrows, and riding mowers. Prevents and repairs flat tires. Slime Tube sealant prevents and repairs flat tires caused by puncturing objects up to 1/8″ (3mm) in diameter. Slime works repeatedly to repair new and existing punctures for up to 2 years. Seals multiple punctures repeatedly. Non flammable, non-aerosol, water soluble. Specifications: The inner tube formulation should not be used in a tubeless tire. Slime sealants are designed to treat tread area punctures only and should not be used to repair sidewall punctures, snake bites, rim spoke punctures or gashes from metal or glass.
A tubed tire has a separate inner tube, made of butyl rubber or latex, that provides a relatively airtight barrier inside the tire. A vast majority of the tire systems in use are clinchers, due to the relative simplicity of repairs and wide availability of replacement inner tubes.
