StarStarStarStarStar Don't leave home without it

Pros

Small container with every thing needed to repair a leaking tube, except for the tire tools. Glue and patches work very well in my experience.

Cons

none

Other Thoughts

If you don't ride far a patch kit like this may not be needed. My rides are usually 40 to 60 miles along moutain roads, I don't like fixing flats, but I do like getting back home, so there is always one of these kits in my under the seat bag.

StarStarStarStarStar Never Used It, thankfully....

Pros

It is a complete kit that will get you out of a jam, if you are ever in one.

Cons

Wonder if the glue is still good, after it sitting so long without uses....

Other Thoughts

I purchased this kit for emergencies: because I believe, riding a bike at the speeds I do,it's just plan crazy not to have good, very good tires...

StarStarStarStarStar Great Kit

by
Ownership: a month
Tech Knowledge: somewhat high

Pros

Easy to use and does exactly what you need it to. I was able to patch a thorn resistant tube with this kit. They can be tricky to patch.

Cons

Not really a con, but this kit uses glue instead of just stick-on patches, which makes a stronger patch, but is a little more complicated.

Some call patches old school--- but they're small, light and work like a charm. They're good for the environment and get the job done.

Cons

StarStarStarStarStar If it's Park, it's got to be good!

by
Ownership: more than a year
Tech Knowledge: average

Pros

Works perfectly IF you follow directions. Most people don't realize that patching a tire involves the vulconization process which is NOT about "sticking" but rather the molecular bond that forms between the patch and the tire. You only need a VERY thin coat of the "adhesive" (i.e.: vulcanizing compound) and you MUST wait for the compound to dry COMPLETELY before you press on the patch. Also, make sure the compound covers an area slightly larger than the patch.

Cons

none

StarStarStarStarStar Better than flats...

by
Ownership: two months

Pros

It's a patch kit that has everything you need to repair a pesky flat.

Cons

It doesn't fix flats without some sort of intervention.

Other Thoughts

I wish I never had flats, but this product at least lets me get back o. The road if I do have one.
