Inners for Road Bikes

If the hole is too large to repair, cut the tube completely and tie off each end with a tight knot. You'll have a small flat spot on the tyre but at least you'll get home.

Wow, will that work at 100psi?

Personally I wouldn't chance it but you can easily ride a 23mm+ tyre at 50psi, carefully of course. It's just a temporary hack to get you home. You can also tie the two ends together.

Four very large holes on 23mm inner some how I don't think it would work

Carrying tubes is my preferred method, its just so much easier change a tube on the road than trying to find a puncture (unless you happen to puncture somewhere where there is a couple of inches of water to submerge it in sections). Finding a puncture at home though is no problem, so I just fix them at home and then re-use them.



You really should learn to do it yourself. Changing a tube is very very easy.

Yes i know, but i need someone with patience to stand there while i get it right.

Youtube is bound to have loads of annoying video's on how to change a tube

I'm guessing mathematics isn't one of your strongest suits...

I'm not aware that my mathematics is poor, 4 holes in a 23mm innertube x 2 = 8 holes replaced one tube means I was left with an innertube with 4 holes in it ?

I'm sorry, I've read your post five times and I still don't understand it.

When I hit the split manhole cover it put 4 holes in my innertubes. My innertubes are 700c x 23mm and what you recommend wouldn't of worked in that situation.
