Tool repairs bike tires in one minute
PatchNRide inserts pieces of rubber into the tire, making life easier for the cyclist and reusing what could otherwise go to waste
Bikers know what a headache it is when a tire goes flat. The change is never very quick and requires some effort.
But a new tool promises to make life easier for those who are victim of a nail in the tire: PatchNRide, which fixes any bicycle tire in about a minute.
The device works as a kind of injection that, instead of liquid or glue, injects a rubber patch into the tube and tire. Just place the tip of the equipment inside the tire, pull the lever and inflate it again.
According to the manufacturer, the product can also be considered sustainable, since by repairing the tire we avoid disposing of the damaged one and the immediate consumption of a new one, that is, we extend the life of the old product and the emissions related to the new one.
To better understand how the tool works, watch the two videos below (the second is in Portuguese) and access the official website.
