Ahhhhhhhh!!!!! This is going to help me so much! I've literally going through ten tubes this year at about $9 a piece for my mower's sulky. Constantly tearing the valve stems. I make for certain when I install the tube inside the rim that the valve stem pokes through the rim without any bind on it. So I think the tube is somehow shifting inside the rim causing the stem to wear against the hole in rim. Atleast now I can fix them! Your channel has so many of out of the box diy things that I've put to actual use. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! Can I come be your shadow? In the meantime ya got a patreon?
aadoublea, if your tire is slipping on the wheel rim, you might be able to use a method of motorcycle racing and drill holes in the side of the rim of the wheel, and run SS screws, at just the right length, into the tire bead.
That's a peculiar problem for a non-driven wheel. A tire (and tube) shifting like that usually only happens when drive power or braking is applied to a wheel and then usually only because of additional factors such as lube on the tire bead or under inflation. When installing a tube it should be inflated twice. First to allow the tube to untwist and shift inside the tire and then reinflate to seat the bead. It can be difficult just by looking to tell whether the tire bead has seated against the rim so release the air and press around the rim edge to be sure it has seated then reinflate.
I have a gun cart I use for sporting clays I made from a jogging stroller. Here in the Sonoran Desert we have mesquite thorns among other stuff that flattens tires. Patches didn't hold. On the last flat I coated the hole with Permatex Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker. I applied a slight vacuum to the tube to suck some inside the hole, then just enough pressure to keep the RTV from sticking to the opposite inside wall. Applied enough around the hole to make a patch and let it sit for 24 hours. That was a couple months ago and it hasn't leaked. The Permatex Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker sets up into an extremely tough neoprene rubber like material that is useful for many applications beyond the one it was designed for.
About three weeks ago Just for the heck of it I did a repair on my son's dirt bike tube. His tube has a straight valve stem. I normally clamp my tube repairs between two wood blocks. For his tube did the same just drilled a hole for the stem in the wood and clamped it down and let it cure/dry. Worked like a charm!
What you should have done first after cutting the hole in the patch is to slide the patch over the stem then apply the glue with the brush and then press it onto the tube
When replacing an old tube with a new tube, cut out a round section about 2-3” diameter of the old tube. Use a hole punch like in this video and slip it down over the valve stem.
Good tip I’ve never thought about trying that.as you say either a new tube or the expensive glue in valve And I agree on the Rema tip-top patches that’s all I will use and all the tyre repair places seem to use over here (uk)
Heya Moe! I was checking out my analytics and realized that you along with many of my friends are NOT subscribed to my channel lol.

I just went to your channel page and you last video and both show that I'm subscribed to you. I just went to the "Cummunity" tab then "Subscribers", sorted by most popular and you're listed as a subscriber on my channel for the past 4 years. I wonder if it's glitch?
Great idea! Not sure if it will work on 100psi Presta bike tire tubes, but will try it and report back. I don't think I have the space to use two patches though. Are you surprised that nobody has posted about rebonding the valve stem assembly to the tube? Well, I've looked everywhere and not found any kits or mention of this.....
Man its been ages since I patched a tube! Over the years I had many semi tires patched. I even plugged a few. I rarely got less than 450,000 on a set of drives, even after being patched.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose 450,000 miles on a set. I’ve had a lot of tires but none that were that hard of a compound. Usually ran a softer cap called winter grip had them siped and still places where chains were required. I’d get 3-4 seasons out of them. Ran Yokohama mostly in the summer months and get 4-5 summers out of them.
good tip, just one thing. Whenver I put a patch on a tube, the instructions say to let the glue dry before adding the patch (presumably its stronger this way) . Why did you not let it dry?
Have you ever used the old burn patches? I don't remember the proper name for them, some of them had primers that you would hit with a hammer to set it ablaze. The heat vulcanized the repair. I think I'm telling my age.
@@sixtyfiveford would like to see a video of them in use, just for nostalgia, good times, good times, can you still buy them? I would like to have a few .
I actually looked to buy some 8-10 years ago and couldn't find anyone selling them. The only ones I could find were old stock for collectors on Ebay. I finally found some at an estate sale a year or so ago.
I attempted to repair the valve stem on a road bike with a presta valve. Probably because I only used one patch and do not have much experience, it did not hold pressure
I love your videos. You do a grate job of telling what your talking about in just a few sentences. what brand of patch and where can I purchase them please? and thank you
German made "Rema Tip Top" patches are all I use anymore. They seam to be made from high quality rubber and don't dry rot like so may other cheap brands. They're pretty inexpensive so I put links in the video description.
While I am about to try this technique 1st, I did find that Milton makes entire valve stem replacement patches.... search for Milton 462 and/or Milton 473 for them. But once you try one of these entire valve stem replacements you are stuck with them and if they don't work the tube is trash, while trying this 1st gives you a 2nd chance with one of the Milton stem replacements if this doesn't work. I have a rear tractor tire with a cracked tube stem, this tube is only 3 years old and costs over $100 to replace so.... what do I really have to lose but a few more days time? Just wish it wasn't 100F outside here in Texas right now... ughhhhh! 😕
Nice to know...i have air leaking from stem where rubber meets the threads of value...i ruffed it up with sand paper and brushed vulcan cement...i will wait a day or two before i fill with air...if its a fail i will just buy a new tube..
I already did all that on my own, gosh darn electric scooter tube still leaking, tried three times. Ordered three tubes just to keep spares on hand. Whoever idiot assembled the thing at the factory left the nuts that are supposed to keep the valve stem out on the wrong side. 😅 And of course it was the back wheel that popped with all the gizmos on it which are a pain to take apart, which you must to replace the tube. Really wanted the patch job to work to avoid that mess.
Do you have video on just patching an inner tube for tractor tire? Maybe these Rema patches your using will work better then the common inner tube patch repair kit that are at Wally world, they have small square patches and I cant seam to fix my tube with them, they still leak and peal right back off easy...........
That's so frustrating. I stack Rema patches all the time to fix holes in bigger tubes. They don't fall off like the cheap patches. You can essentially build whatever size patch you need.
Absolutely. But also prevention is not allowing the tire to run low on air so the tire spins in the rim. You can also use a bead sealer on the tire to rim to help stick it in place so the tire doesn't want to spin on the rim.
I just tried to do the same fix a couple of weeks ago but my hole wasn't clean (no jokes please, although you owe me one) and it failed. I was also using whatever Walmart sells for patches (crap).
haha. Years ago I was looking for a better patch and virtually every forum I looked at has someone saying Rema was the best. I bought a Rema Tip Top patch kit for $5 shipped and I will never use another patch.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Years ago I was looking for a better patch and virtually every forum I looked at has someone saying Rema was the best. I bought a Rema Tip Top patch kit for $5 shipped and I will never use another patch.
Great video Moe! Its wild what you can learn on youtube... I watched this video late last evening and today I went to the bike parts store and bought some of these patches. They were selling them for 25c each though. I wanted to buy a box of 100 but they wouldn't sell me a box grrrrrr. Thats a great tip on repairing the tube around the valve, I had 2 tubes tear a cm from the valve earlier this year but I had to replace the complete tube... Where did you get the whole punch?
sixtyfiveford Cool, I'll try looking for one or maybe make one. Today I put that green slime stuff in my bike tire tube. Last weekend I had a flat tire so I put a new tube into it and pumped it up to 80psi and a day later its at 20psi. What a pain! I figure if the green slime works on cars and motorcycles it should work on a bicycle tube too.
I've had great luck with the slime, but only in tubeless tires. I have had poor success with slime in bike tubes, but I know they sell tubes with slime preinstalled???
punched a hole in my best rubber airline pretty much in the center of its length. tried to patch it. fail. 100 psi resting rate is a lot to ask of a patch. any ideas?
Your dogs eyes, 'You're looking at me?, what did i do wrong' :-D. Such a nice old smart frend :-D I'm supprised that patches would work well enough, they are normally only used for pin pricks in the surface, ideal for outer tube leaks. I was going to say something stupid.... ahh ok go on then :-D, "I would never use that stem fix on a car innertube", yep yep i know it's an ancient innertube that no one uses now lol. Shoot me quick lol.
Moe, another great tip video. I appreciated your product links as I know you are not getting rich off of the pennies Jeff Bezos is paying you for selling his patches. Do you have an Amazon Influencer list for the products you buy and like a lot? I add an Influencer list to my videos so people can see what I have bought and liked on Amazon. if you make a list on Amazon I would be interested in seeing what you buy and recommend as I sometimes find out about products I never knew existed by seeing what other people are buying and saving to their list.
I have my main Amazon influencer page linked off of my TH-cam Channel page. I should really spend more time with it. I notice you don't have yours linked on your channel page.
First, that would make for a crappy video. Second, I can permanently fix the tube faster and cheaper than I can go buy a new one. Third, in this day and age when everyone is too lazy to learn how to fix stuff I like to show people what is possible.

Once again !! You have impressed me to Hades and back !!! Never, ever thought of repairing a torn valve stem.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked the video.
In a throw away world it's great to know this. Like the same day repair without leaving home... That actually looks like it would be better than new!

I drive an 18 wheeler fuel tanker truck, I'm gonna try this on my front tire tomorrow. Great video
What you should have done first after cutting the hole in the patch is to slide the patch over the stem then apply the glue with the brush and then press it onto the tube
That's a good fix ,I never thought of doing it that way,that is a lot cheaper than buying the patches with the built in stems ,Thanks for the fix tip
Thanks. It has come in handy a few times.
When replacing an old tube with a new tube, cut out a round section about 2-3” diameter of the old tube. Use a hole punch like in this video and slip it down over the valve stem.
good idea
I am stunned. Did not think this was possible. Love, love these tips.
Hey thanks. Not many things with tubes in them anymore, but the tip comes in handy when you need it.
Another great tip, Thanks! I would put the valve stem cap on, to prevent getting glue into it. Wondering how few ever knew about this one.
Thanks.
Commenter Five: youd need to make a bigger hole though with that route which would not make it snug enough at the base.
Good tip I’ve never thought about trying that.as you say either a new tube or the expensive glue in valve And I agree on the Rema tip-top patches that’s all I will use and all the tyre repair places seem to use over here (uk)
Thanks. Rema Tip-Top makes some good products.
I use and pipe cement for a cut valve stem repair. Holds up to 180 psi. Simply coat the slice sides and coat entire area around the stem hole in rim.

Great info on patch quality and tech I needed to know, but didn't know I needed to know.
Thanks. Not many tires with tubes in them anymore.
a great suggestion - these ideas are especially good for tyres that mainly operate off road. Many thanks
That's a slick fix. Mounting those small tubes and tires is harder than the repair. lol.
It really is.

You come up with great ideas all the time. Thanks.
Thanks Bruce.
Great idea! Just cut the grass. So I got a good week to fix my leaky valve stem. I will reinforce it with 2 patches.
Thanks for watching.
Super glueing the split together works better than patch🇬🇧👍
good tip, just one thing. Whenver I put a patch on a tube, the instructions say to let the glue dry before adding the patch (presumably its stronger this way) . Why did you not let it dry?
Thanks For all your videos!!
Can you make your own patch out of an old internet???
great job on the video
Thanks, Darren. -Moe
Thanks for the tip and for the links. I like knowing about good products.
Have you ever used the old burn patches? I don't remember the proper name for them, some of them had primers that you would hit with a hammer to set it ablaze. The heat vulcanized the repair. I think I'm telling my age.
Sid Walker hot patches
I have some sitting in my patch pile. I was going to make a video on these patches for fun.

Sid Walker hot patCh best tube patcjes they are
good idea with the hole punch! presta valves have so many tears near the valve
Good fix . . . . I was waiting for ya to light the glue . . . . Rog
I have done this in the past, but didn't notice a difference in patching performance.
I’m gonna try it it looks like at work just fine for you I hope it works the same for me thank you so much
good job..I have used the new metal valve inserts with the washers install depending on if the tube is worth if esp 4 ATVs
Hey Thanks.
I attempted to repair the valve stem on a road bike with a presta valve. Probably because I only used one patch and do not have much experience, it did not hold pressure

That did get me thinking that I have seen replacement valve stems on a patch for big truck tubes
It's a lot cheaper than a new tube. The valve stem patches are only $5 a piece but you have to buy a handful.
Cool tip but we didn’t expect anything less
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.

Hey Thanks. Sad to see Craftsman die.
Ya, same here! It's been a long time coming but they're still some of the best tools I own!
I remember when I was a pretty young kid fixing my bike tube like that.
I just bought a new bike inner tube for $14.99 and the valve itself is leaking air there an easy a way to fix that ?
Do you have video on just patching an inner tube for tractor tire?
Maybe these Rema patches your using will work better then the common inner tube patch repair kit that are at Wally world, they have small square patches and I cant seam to fix my tube with them, they still leak and peal right back off easy...........

@@sixtyfiveford I ordered some 2 in. (Best) tire patches yesterday, you ever try that brand?
@@job38four10 I haven't. Once I tried Rema I tossed everything else.
You have better luck than I do at this. I'm running 50/50. But then again, I have never tried the double patching.
Years ago I gave up on this technique but that was with standard tube patches. These Rema stick permanently.
That is just how I do it , The kids would ride there bike on a flat tire and rip the stem .. Perfect way to fix the problem !!
The kids keep me in full time tube repair mode.
Does this prevent valve stems from getting damaged again once in place? I need a prevention, not a cure
Absolutely. But also prevention is not allowing the tire to run low on air so the tire spins in the rim. You can also use a bead sealer on the tire to rim to help stick it in place so the tire doesn't want to spin on the rim.

Got any tips on fixing "waders" rubber boots, most likely the seams.
Personally my go to fix would be Shoe Goo or E6000. I use these to fix inflatable boats etc all the time.
sixtyfiveford I've been using E6000 on wetsuits, pretty good stuff, and good idea thanks.
Hi Moe nice tip. Thanks for the link. I was looking for a better quality patch. Stay well, Joe Z
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Years ago I was looking for a better patch and virtually every forum I looked at has someone saying Rema was the best. I bought a Rema Tip Top patch kit for $5 shipped and I will never use another patch.
Which glue do you use?
I use a big bottle of Rema 203 vulcanizing fluid, but they give you a small bottle of glue with every patch kit you buy.
Great Video I will Remember this one...
If the valve stem is 90% ripped off, how is it that the tube appears to be semi inflated before he puts the patch on?
It must be magic!
You should go by Shop Ninja. 👍
My valve stem popped out ...same style tube and tire....the tube is ok other than stem missing...is it repairable
If the stem is fully torn off you will be better off with a new tube.
Do this on a new tube to prevent it from breaking?
That's a fantastic idea!
John that's simply clever!
what if the valve stems completely out can you do the same thing you just did
I don't see why not. This one was 90% ripped off.
i just buy those patches and its very good product !!!!!!!!!! thanks for the share 65 ford :)
Thank, I'm glad you liked it.
Those Walker patches are the best for galaxy 500's...
Fine business there, 65. Thanks.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
This happens on my bike all th time. How do I PREVENT it from happening?
Generally that's from running too low of tire pressure.
Dude will you stop already. You keep coming up with these great ideas. You're making the rest of us look bad. :)
Thanks Man.
Can you fix a stem thats ripped out
No. They sell entire new stems that glue on. But they cost as much as a new tube.
Great video Moe! Its wild what you can learn on youtube...
I watched this video late last evening and today I went to the bike parts store and bought some of these patches. They were selling them for 25c each though.

Thats a great tip on repairing the tube around the valve, I had 2 tubes tear a cm from the valve earlier this year but I had to replace the complete tube... Where did you get the whole punch?
My hole punch is early 1900's vintage but I know they still sell them online. A small sharpened pipe or bullet casing would do the same.
sixtyfiveford Cool, I'll try looking for one or maybe make one.
Today I put that green slime stuff in my bike tire tube. Last weekend I had a flat tire so I put a new tube into it and pumped it up to 80psi and a day later its at 20psi. What a pain! I figure if the green slime works on cars and motorcycles it should work on a bicycle tube too.
I've had great luck with the slime, but only in tubeless tires. I have had poor success with slime in bike tubes, but I know they sell tubes with slime preinstalled???
Just replace the tube at that point
I just got a find something to cut the whole right side
Why the valve stem rip? What's the cause?
Low air in the tire causes the tire and rim to spin separate of each other.
A jealous woman will do unspeakable things to people...
Brilliant!! Thanks, Moe!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Fantastic video!!
Hey Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
P U R E C O M M O N S E N S E !!! EXCELLENT REVIEW AND OLD SCHOOL LOVE IT!
Thanks Man.
punched a hole in my best rubber airline pretty much in the center of its length. tried to patch it. fail. 100 psi resting rate is a lot to ask of a patch. any ideas?
I've done the same. I put a barbed hose splice on it.
was hoping to not need the radiator style clamps that get caught on everything
I put the barb, then wrapped it with multiple wraps of tightly wound bailing wire. I then threw some heat shrink tubing over that.
Thanks man
Where the hell do you learn all these tricks? You're like mr meeogee from the karate kid
Haha... Tube on, Tube off.
Put a link for the patches. I need the spelling to google the patch on Ebay. Reema or Rina???? I can't hear cuz i'm old!!!!!haha and half crazy haha
I have links to them in the Video Description. Rema Tip Top
Nice fix
Thanks!
For that wheel, I’d have probably filled it with concrete or something.
Arrived on time
Great idea. 👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I never knew you could fix a bad valve stem like that before.
Thanks.
Thanks
No problem
cool trick
Thanks Man.
👍🏼
Say "without touching it" then go on to touch the entire adhesive area
With the cost of these products... I'm taking mine right up to LES SCHWAB. " Fix this please ... thank you! "
LOL, just two months off on this video. These tire/wheels must go under low pressure use alot - this happens often (mind was a dolly).
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Did someone say ‘bacon’?
Gets the dog every time.
Yeah, and by the way, if the world was round then Australia and Antarctica would be under water...(just saying...)
All tires should be tubeless.
I agree with you to some degree.
Your dogs eyes, 'You're looking at me?, what did i do wrong' :-D.
Such a nice old smart frend :-D
I'm supprised that patches would work well enough, they are normally only used for pin pricks in the surface, ideal for outer tube leaks.
I was going to say something stupid.... ahh ok go on then :-D, "I would never use that stem fix on a car innertube", yep yep i know it's an ancient innertube that no one uses now lol.
Shoot me quick lol.
The dog always waits patiently for me to finish my jobs.

Why bother
Just buy a new tube
In a pinch it's worth fixing. Once you get the tube out the repair only takes a few minutes.
First, that would make for a crappy video. Second, I can permanently fix the tube faster and cheaper than I can go buy a new one. Third, in this day and age when everyone is too lazy to learn how to fix stuff I like to show people what is possible.
lol
crap did not work at all
You need good patches. Cheap patches suck and don't stick to anything.
