Have You Ever Seen Traditional Tire Patching?

Aceh Province is one of the provinces that has received the Special Autonomy Fund from the Indonesian Government, even though trillions of rupiah have been disbursed annually during the past 13 years and are still valid until 2027, we as the people of Aceh see no innovation made by the Government. we are in the field of motorcycle tire repair.

Yes, still very traditional. And I think this method has been used since I was born 34 years ago. The workers patching these tires are the average dependent on this job. But unfortunately, none of them get assistance for the coaching they are doing.

They don't have any tools to dismantle the leaky tires, they only rely on manual labor and makeshift equipment, it is entirely done with their skills and there is no engine running.

After dismantling the tires, these workers then used a bucket of water to see with the naked eye the location of the leaking tire. Then they used a stick to mark the hole.

Then the location of the hole was rubbed using coarse paper, and rubber affixed to the location of the leak then they burned it to join the rubber with the tire so that the location of the leak was closed.

Yes, that's the way it has been done in our area until now, how about in your area, have there been innovations to patch up the latest motorcycle tires?

Below I provide some pictures of this traditional tire patching process, I document it using a Canon A 3200 IS pocket camera.
