Carefully check the outside and inside of the tyre for the cause of the puncture and remove the cause if it is still here. If
the tyre is cut,line the inside of the tire in the area of the cut with something handy-tape,a spare patch,a piece of inner
tube, to keep the cut from pinching the inner tube.
