What material will you need?
1. A puncture repair kit or a compatible
new inner tube (make sure to purchase a
compatible tube by giving all the relevant
information regarding the size of the
tire and type of valve at the moment of
purchase).
2. A set of tire levers (bike tire specific model
in plastic material is recommended, do
not use metallic motocross tire levers or
a screwdriver as it will likely damage the
tube and / or rim).

a pressure gauge.
