Flat-Away is made of Kevlar by Dupont it's the stuff bullet proof vests are made from !

Flat-Away is intended for bicycle wheel so it comes in rolls sufficient for one bicycle wheel - which is enough for two pushchair wheels. We will supply half rolls so that you can fit to all three pushchair wheels. Most punctures occur on the two rear load bearing wheels so you may chose to fit Flat-Away to those wheels only.

£10 per roll (2170mm x 40mm) enough to do two pushchair wheels

£15 for three pushchair wheels

£25 pre-fitted to your pushchair

We can supply Flat-Away by mail order.

Flat-Away Puncture Resistant Kevlar Tape Fitting Instructions

• mark the position of the valve on the tyre

• remove the tyre on one side of the wheel using tyre levers. If you hold the wheel like an artist holds a paint palette with your thumb through the wheel by the valve then you can hold the first tyre lever down while applying the second one.

• remove the inner tube, inflate it and emerse in water, bubbles will reveal where the hole is

• remove the tyre completely from the wheel and put the valve over the mark on the tyre to help find and remove the cause of the puncture (failure to do this will result in repeat punctures)

• check the inside of the tyre for dirt, grit or thorns etc.

2.  Fitting Flat-Away Puncture Resistant Kevlar Tape

• the tape comes in rolls 2100mm long sufficient for two wheels, first cut it in half then roll back the backing paper from one end of the tape to reveal the adhesive

• position centrally inside the tyre and press down, continue around the tyre pealing back the backing paper in short sections and pressing down against the tyre

• when the whole tyre has been lined run your fingers firmly from the start to the finish before sticking down the overlapping end onto the first piece of tape

• fit one side of the tyre back onto the wheel, preferably the outside of the wheel so that any marks caused by tyre levers are concealed

• fit inner tube and inflate just enough for the inner tube to take up a circular shape (it is necessary to do this for the tyre to fit well and in particular for the valve to fit behind the tyre wall rather than being pinched by it)

• refit the tyre starting at the valve. Take care not to damage the inner tube if using tyre levers, but you can do it with your hands – if you have strong hands

• centralise the wheel inside the tyre and inflate to approximately 10 to 14 lbs pressure. Tyres can be inflated with most standard bicycle pumps, we recommend using a foot pump with a gauge as the adaptor end is easier to fit onto a small wheel.

If you over inflate the tyres then the ride is harder and above 20lbs you run the risk of distorting the wheel.
