In all honesty, I buy small things like this to pad my orders sometimes for shipping discounts, but this is one of the go-to items. Who doesn't need patches and glue? I actually needed it to fix up a punctured cross tire, so I had it off anyway and cleaned out the sealant, scuffed it, and patched from the inside, and now I'm good to go. Great product, works perfectly.
I ride Continental 700C tires and only had and old patch kit that I did not want to trust, I also bought 4 new Kenda tubes that are now formulated with a better material which is supposed to hold high pressure longer. I may, or may not have to use this repair kit. We shall see.
Not much to say - it works, and it is easy to use. I keep buying it as I need it.
Easy to carry and easy to use. Perfect.
Old patches were not holding, maybe from aging out. These are working fine with the high pressure (#130) road tires (25s). These are holding with no further problems.
This patch kit has a variety of sizes that work on road tubes from 23mm to 32 mm.
Other patch kits have only the larger sizes which don't fit on 23mm tubes
For those of us that still patch our tubes or use tubes at all, the glue patch is the only way to go. I do not have confidence in the glueless patch.
A step up from the GP 2. For tube tears and a little larger holes. I carry both.
Its a patch kit! Stops the leak and on you ride. Easy to use and I like much better than those goofy sticky clear patches that are out there. This works!
It's a patch kit ...
what can I say??
Their delicious.
Nicely packaged in a little box. Cement will dry out so buying a small quantity like this allows you to get a fresh supply from time to time. An add on purchase when doing a larger order saves shipping costs.
Just to keep around for when your spare tube also flats. In that case I use this patchkit. But be aware the fluid tends to dry out after some. You never know when so I just replaces the whole kit once a year.
Not much to say. It does the trick.
I have several of these and use them when needed. Easy to use, and they work.
Patched tubes are a necessity in Portland as the roads consistently have glass, staples, wire from auto tires and a variety of other things to cause a flat.
This patch kit works perfectly!
Glue, patches, sandpaper in the most compact kit I've found. I run through one of these a year commuting 22mi/day all year round in PDX. Good quality glue and patches. Thanks to the small box I can fit the patch kit, spare tube, two irons, 10 bucks, my cell phone, C02, and a pair of nitrile gloves in my 30 cube inch seat bag no sweat (ok - a little sweat).
Finally an integrated air containment solution everyone in the whole family can agree upon. Crisp, aerodynamic and responsive, the VP-1 has all the patching power where you need it without any of the fuss.
Easy to pack
If I get a flat that can be fixed, I'll pop in a new one on the ride and use this kit to repair and reuse the tube. works great.
I carry these but i change my tires more often so i don't get many flats.
