Self-adhesive repair patches for Aerothan bicycle inner tubes. Are applied directly to the area to be patched without roughening/grinding.
If there is a hole in the Aerothan tube, you can repair it with Schwalbe Glueless Patches. Roughening as with butyl tubes is not necessary. Instead, the self-adhesive patches are applied directly to the area to be patched. The surface should be as clean as possible for this. The use of rubbing alcohol is recommended to improve the adhesive strength (adhesion) of the patch. Isopropyl alcohol wipes in small outer packaging are effective and should be packed together with the Glueless Patches. Glueless Patches are strongly recommended for the repair of Aerothan Tubes as they are thinner and therefore more flexible than comparable products from other manufacturers. With self-adhesive patches from other manufacturers, small air channels may form between the patch and the Aerothan tube, allowing air to escape from the tube. For larger holes or cuts (max. 4 mm), it is recommended to use two patches overlapping the defective area.
