I always carry two extra tubes AND carry the Super Patch just in case. I know, call me paranoid but better safe than sorry. On a recent ride, this patch saved the day for a newbie rider who was stranded on the road with a flat and no tube. She'd have been riding for 6 months without a spare tube and of course her luck finally ran out. Just be sure to keep the area to be patched clean and scuff it up good and carefully apply the patch smoothly without any folds and burnish it down and it's good to go.
Had to use one of these on a ride not too long ago and it got me home great. Usually I'd swap out the tube for a new one, but this time I forgot and surprised to see this patch lasted all the months of daily use. Furthermore, I find the kits with a tube of glue pretty useless after the first repair because the little glue tube tends to harden up too easily. This is a simple peel and stick method!
I have had these fail, especially when I put them on and immediately pump up my tires and try to go. If I put on the patch and leave the tube for some hours they work much better. They do work better than some other brand instant patches.
This is my primary fix for on the road flats. Works well and fairly easy to apply. I have run a tube patched with one of these for over 1,000miles.
Awesomeness in a small package
An effective fix. No glue to dry out find the leak and patch it. Your on the trail in no time.
Carry this in each saddle pack. It's small, light and will get you home when your flats exceed your spare tubes. Don't leave home without it.
I hope i never have to use them but i bet they work great and for the price why not be ready.
I can't believe that I was still using the old patch-and-glue repair kits when these kits cost so little. I'll never go back, this kit has saved me on the trail a couple of times now.
Very compact. Easy to apply. I've been using these for years and they usually hold up for almost a year, at that point the glue breaks down and it begins to leak again. By the time a 4th leak is repaired, the 1st will break down.
Easy no mess, no dried up tube of glue to worry about. No brainer and works perfectly. I love these.
I've used this patch kit for over a decade and can recommend it for any type of tube, road or mountain. I've used patch kits that have the patch and glue seperate and these patches hold just as well and are much quicker and easier to use. This also has the added benefit of having thin patches compared to traditional patch kits so the tub does not end up with a lump where the patch is. I carry one or two patches in my saddle bag in case I need to patch a hole on the side of the road. Great product.
Hey a patch set is super cheap compared to replacing tubes for ten bucks whenever you get a flat from a nail or thorn or glass or whatever.
I like the fact you don't have to carry a glue tube with these.
I've been riding a patched tube in a 25mm tire now at 100-110 psi for about 2 months now and have had no problems at all.
Everyone should have a patch kit!
Carried the small patch kit with glue tube for the longest time. Even though many times the glue in the tube had evaporated away. Had bought some of thes patches for 'just in case'. Well, just in case did come on a long ride, and these patches performed great! Easy to prep tire and apply. No issues with patch peeling off or not sticking. I'm a convert! I've ditched my old patch kits, and have gone solely to these. Smaller and lighter in your repair kit, and they do what they're supposed to. What's not to like?
I always carry a spare tube, but there are times when that is not enough and this patch kit is a lifesaver in those situations. So simple and easy to use. No glue to mess up or dry up. Can't beat the price either. Get some toss in you seat bag and feel secure.
A great backup for the times your glue dries up in your traditional patch kit. In fact, the glue in my kits is generally dried up, so I'm considering relying on these kits for on-trail/road patching.
I've patched numerous MTB and road tubes with these and they've always held until I get home, which could be days on longer trips. For high pressures I always peel off and patch with a traditional patch and glue. For low pressures I generally leave it on.
Compact, light, easy to use, and it works! You shouldn't leave home without it.
I've never used the glue but I'd imagine it'd be more cumbersome. This is a great patch that'll get you back on the road in no time.
Glue always dries up after opened, glueless is the only way to go, tried Slime's didn't work that well these seem better.
does a great job on covering holes I like it
Hope i never need them , but will review them if I do.
