An apparatus 201 for repairing a puncture comprising: a first elongate portion 202 comprising an aperture 205; a second elongate portion 203 comprising a protrusion 211; a clamping means 204 configured to removably secure said first and second elongate portions together; said protrusion aligns with said aperture to extend through said aperture when said first and second elongate portions are secured together. A method of repairing a puncture comprising: locating a puncture hole in an inner tube (fig.6B, 302); aligning a first elongate portion of an apparatus with said puncture hole on a first side of said inner tube; aligning a second elongate portion with said first elongate portion on a second side of said inner tube; clamping said first and second elongate portions together around said inner tube such that a protrusion of said second elongate portion pushes said inner tube through an aperture of said first elongate portion; repairing said puncture hole; removing said first and second elongate portions by unsecuring said clamping means.
