Puncture and protect tyre
If a foreign body should cause a puncture, the tyre
should be replaced and Schwalbe anti-puncture liquid
should be used until it is replaced.
Anti-puncture liquids are useful for repairing small
punctures when out and about without dismounting the
tube or tyre. More serious damage such as cuts or
snake bites cannot be repaired with anti-puncture
liquids.
There are basically two different types of anti-puncture
liquid:
The first type of liquid is purely mechanical. The liquid
does not contain any fibres or particles which plug the
hole. The advantage is that the liquid is unlimited in its
effect. The disadvantage is that the hole is not really
repaired. It is only plugged and may open up again –
when pumping, for example.
The second fluid type is latex-based. The latex milk
solidifies in the hole, repairing it permanently.
Unfortunately, such liquids are only effective on the
tube for a limited time as they harden at some point.
Doc Blue anti-puncture liquid is effective as a remedy
on tyres for about 2–7 months or about 2,000 km and
offers additional protection for rides in extremely
prickly or thorny terrain.
Shake the anti-puncture liquid bottle well.
Remove the valve insert.
Fill 25–50 ml into the tube.
Spin the wheel.
