I purchased 2 silverfox moutain bike's from argos and in the first few days kept getting very slow punctures that slow that could not find puncture, replaced inner tube's and happened again so stripped down wheel for inspection and noticed that the inside rim had some rough edges were it had not been machined very well so i sanded them smooth with sanding paper and now it seems ok.....
be careful with this, I once tried to tie off a leak with electrical tape, but when I inflated the tube it exploded, going from one that could have later been properly patched to shredded rubber.
Always carry a tire patch kit wherever you go biking; same common sense as carrying a tire patch kit, jack, spare tire, and other car repair kit when you're driving your car.
@tonboy907 Superglue, or any cyanoacrylate, is not a good adhesive to use for patching a tire because it dries in a brittle state. Over time, the glue will crack and the rubber patch will not be airtight anymore.
what if your not a douche who owns gayass glasses and gayass shoes?

Why'd you tie a lace around the tube, when the latter wasn't even replaced in the tire...?

This reminds me of tales of the early days of cars. When they got flats, they would stuff rags into the tire.
