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.
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.
Easy to carry and easy to use. Perfect.
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.
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.
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!
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.
It's a patch kit ...
what can I say??
Their delicious.
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
I carry these but i change my tires more often so i don't get many flats.
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.
Have used once, worked fine
glue is great and patches stick in place. A nice size to stick in your pocket just incase!
