Maintenance and Repair
Can an AERON/TPU airtube be repaired/patched?
AERON/TPU offers patch kits which contain patches in differnt sizes as well as alcohol cleaning wipes and TPU glue. With this you can easily repair your AERON/TPU tubes. Classic vulcanizing patches for butyl tubes are not compatible with AERON/TPU airtubes.
You can find all the details on how to use the patch kit in the INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
You can find the patch kit video guide on Youtube.
The AERON/TPU airtube has turned yellow after use, why?
Softeners from the rubber of the tire can migrate into the air tube. However, the discoloration is not a sign of a defect or reduced functionality.
