One of the incidents that all riders could not evade - a punctured tire. Well, I got one the last weekend but I was too lazy to patch it up on that day, thinking I have time to do it this weekend. But alas! I need to take Lara with me tomorrow, so I am left with no choice but to do it right now, right there under the dim street light. Definitely a bad setup for a novice like me who is doing it first time.
So this is all I got. A puncture repair kit.
First I used a Philips head to remove the long long nail.
Then, I opened up the panel to reveal the battery. This is the one step that took me the longest time, because I didnt know I need to remove 6 screws, instead of 4. Well shame on me.
Then, connect the air pump to the tire on one side and to the battery on the other side.
Run the pump for like 4 minutes, and everything is fine! The whole process took me around an hour, but the 5 minutes ride after that was heaven....
I am glad that now I have done it, I have one more skill under my belt.
Cheers!
Nice write up. I think I have the same kit. Waiting for my first one. Did you use the plug in the nail hole?
ReplyDeletehi BMO! Thanks for the comment. Yes I did use the plug in the nail hole, if the plug you are referring is that "rubber strip". I just followed all instructions and eventually everything played out the same it should be.
