A Simple Tire Repair

Punctures in the well knowa Morgan & Wright tire are mended about as easily as a man would close a hole in nis finger with a bit of court piaster. Inside of the inner tube of the tire lies a long strip of patching rubber, like this : By injecting M. & W. quick-repair cement throug-h the puncture into this inner tube, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb, like this, the repair strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus the puacture, Uke this : Very simple, but- now every rider should remember these two "buts," or he will fail : Before iajectiag cement, pump up the tire. If you don't, the inner tube will be flabby, like this, and the cement will not get iaside of it, where the repair strip lies. When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack or nail in it, may damage it coasiderably.
