A flat tire seems like a minor thing. But if you pay attention, you'll realize how common it is: a snip of glass, a thorn, a sharp stone—and there goes your tire. But what actually happens inside your tire when it goes flat?
And more importantly: how can you cleverly prevent it in the future?
The science behind a leak
Every bicycle tire is filled with air under pressure. When a sharp object punctures the tire and the inner tube (or tubeless wall), the air escapes immediately. No matter how small the puncture, the air always finds a way out .
No pressure = no resilience = stagnation.
What you didn't know about puncture protection:
- An average bicycle wheel travels over more than 1000 contact points per kilometer
- Most leaks are smaller than 4mm — yet still disastrous for your mobility
- Fix&Ride effectively seals leaks up to 8mm
- The fluid remains active in your tire for 2 years and has an unlimited shelf life in the bottle
Durable & easy to maintain
While patch kits and disposable solutions often only last one time (and create a lot of waste), Fix&Ride ensures a longer life for your tires.
- Less waste
- Lower CO₂ emissions (no extra trips to the bike shop)
- Less hassle
