Park Tool  VP-1C Tire Patch Kit

Kit works great, but the glue dries out once it is open. Have to buy a new kit any time I use it

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.

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.

Save a ton of money patching tubes. I have patch tubes of fellow cyclists.

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 .

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.

The carrying case it comes in allows you to just chuck it in a small pocket. Trying different sorts of patches I would rate these better than all the others. If you follow the directions properly the patches won’t only let you keep riding for the rest of the day they’ll save you from buying tube after tube.

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.

These patch kits work exceptionally well when used as directed. I have gotten tons of life out of tubes with these, and the process is quite fast when you become practiced at it. My main advices is once the patch is fully set and dried, leave the tube inflated for at least 24 hours to confirm it is holding air. For anyone who is waste and/or budget conscious, this truly is great. You will save a decent amount of money in the long run by reusing your tubes.

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!
