It is not possible for a biker to keep all the necessary tools and parts of the bike with him or her at all times. Moreover, unlike a four wheel vehicle there is not much space in a two wheeler so it cannot carry big parts like a spare tire. Therefore, it is significant for a rider to have some tips and tricks up their sleeve in order to fix the bike instead of walking all the way to home on foot, which absolutely stinks. Below we have listed some tips and tricks that will help you a lot, in case your tire gets flat, handlebar gets loose or when a radiator hole needs to be covered.
Flat Tire
When your bike’s tire gets flat and you fail to find any pump, tube or patch kit from nearby then, the best option is to stuff the flat tire with anything one can find around him or her, which could be hay, papers, newspapers, rags or sage brush. Try to fully stuff your flat tire with the help of these things, so it can enable you to slowly ride back to home. Though, this stuffing of the tire would not have much traction, but it will keep your rim safe and might protect the tire as well.
Loose Handlebar
Usually handlebars of the bikes are tightly clipped by a pair of clamps. However, when these clamps get worn the handlebar starts to slip. This may also happen when a bike receives regular vibrations, but you can fix this problem without having the right parts. Simply chop down the shrims of an aluminium beer can and then, put them between the bar and the clamp. Now tighten up the clamps by placing the handlebar back on its original place and you are ready to ride the bike once again, as aluminium shrims are soft enough to tightly hold both clamp and bar.
Radiator Hole
If you have lost the cover of your bike’s radiator hole then, the best way to close it is by using a plug of potato or some pepper. However, if you have lost the water in the radiator then, male riders should empty their entire gall bladder to fill it up. This may not sound good to you, but it will be good enough to get you out of the trouble.
