Please make a kit w two glue tubes!
Kit works great, but the glue dries out once it is open. Have to buy a new kit any time I use it
A standard patch-kit. I've used it with success!
This is an "old-school" patch kit: the adhesive must be applied and let dry before the patches. Although it's time consuming, it works well and has repaired one of my punctures. I did once have a pinch flat (two holes about an inch apart) and this kit did not have a patch large enough to repair it.
Fantastic. Thin patches. Barely noticeable.
Tiny pinhole in the seam of the tube, thankfully away from the valve, which was leaking. The included sandpaper to rough up the tube is tiny, so I used my own. Let dry after dipping in water to find the leak. Sanded. Glued. Let dry. Patched. Rolled between smooth surfaces to ensure bonding. Waited. Re-checked. Installed. No complaints after more than a week of holding 60+psi. Watch the park youtube video on patching even if you have patched before. Worth a refresher.
Patches
Save a ton of money patching tubes. I have patch tubes of fellow cyclists.
park tool make good tools , but these patches ....
i bought these patches because i wasn't able to find my usual tip top anywhere .and bon , its park tool , so it must be good . lets be honest , theses patches ain't good at all . to be more specific, the glue is the trashy part . it hardly stick on normal butyl tubes and if you ride latex , forget about it. the glue is just a glue ,not a vulcanizing fluid that seal any kind of rubber like the tip top one. since then , for the same price i found a good alternative with a 8oz can of slime cement who do a great job on latex within seconds .
Love Park Tool, but these just don't work
I've patched more tubes that I can count over the years using off brand patch kits and never had a problem. Figured Park is top of the line so I would try theirs. Did not work at all. Glue did not hold and blew right off after inflating the tube back up. Tried it three times. I agree with another poster there must be some chemical incompatibility with Park's glue and certain tubes.
work perfect
These are easy to use and work perfect.I have patched one tube four times( I'm cheap) .Only failure is once when I did not detect a secondary hole. Just make sure you give plenty of adhesive coverage so the patch edges have glue under them. And most important LET THE GLUE DRY before applying.
Great patch kit.
Great patch kit. This one worked where others, especially the glueless type...., failed and had me pushing my bike out on the trail. Highly reccommended. Avoid the self stick glueless type, use these. They work!
No brainer investment
So far so good. I patched a hole in my rear tire and it’s holding strong after two weeks. Definitely worth the investment— a must have for the saddle bag.
Stick it!
The patches seal in the air. The glue sticks to the patches. The sandpaper abrades the rubber. Everything does as it is supposed to. If you have the kit a long time in your seatbag, you run the risk that one day the tube may dry up. It happens to the best of glues. It just happens. If it could be fixed, they would have fixed it by now. Barring that, excellent product, top quality parts. Go for it.
