Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:
The Park Glueless Patch Kit is very small and light. I carry it as a backup for my regular patch kit in case my glue dries out or evaporates. The glueless patches get me home, but they don't stick as well as the regular patches. If I try to keep using the patched tube, the glueless patch will develop a slow leak by the 2nd or 3rd ride on it.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:
I have read that glueless patches are supposedly only temporary, but I have used these many times on 26" tubes for small punctures and they've lasted for the remaining life of the tube. I am very thorough when cleaning, though: I clean, buff, clean again, dry, then apply. The kit weighs essentially nothing and takes up essentially no space; therefore, even if you prefer to carry a vulcanizing kit this is nice to have as another backup. I have yet to use one on my road bike (27" tires at 100 PSI) because I've yet to get a flat on it, so it's possible they might not work permanently with the higher pressure.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:
These are the absolute best glueless patches I've used. Simple bond that stays strong, and holds pressure for small punctures (doesn't work with nail-sized holes). From 90 PSI, it takes about 1 week to drop to 60 PSI, which means I have to re-pump every week. [With a new tube, it takes over a month to drop below 60 PSI]. So these are the best available, but if you're looking for a like-new patch, you'd be best off with a vulcanizing patch kit (which is more of a hassle to learn to use).

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:
Smaller than a pack of gum, the patch kit fits easily in a biking back pack or an underseat bag. Offers peel-and-sitck convenience, no need to be messing around with glue and no waiting! In the dry Southern California climate patch glue can dry up and leave you stranded when you most need it.
Patch kit is great for small thorn punctures--anything bigger I would change out the tube anyway.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:
I love these patches. They are small, lightweight, fast and easy to use, and will handle most small punctures. The only time I've had a problem is using them on pinch flats - they don't always seal permanently on larger tears, probably due to their size.

Comments about Park Glueless Patch Kit:
I wouldn't carry any other brand! This little kit weighs nothing and the patches work perfectly. It even includes the sandpaper that you need. This kit, a small pump, and two tire irons and you're good to go for any puncture flat! Plus, it's made responsibly. What could be better?
