This is a typical patch kit that has worked fine for me. Well worth the price I paid for it.

 Easy to use., December 12, 2008
By DanF

This was easy to use and worked well, but as a first-timer I could have used some more detailed instructions. It'll be a breeze next time.

The only way to repair a tube, May 6, 2010
By E. Sande (Las Vegas, Nevada United States)
|
|
I've put up with failed "glueless patches" long enough and sought out the standard patch kit that has been around as long as I've been a cyclist. Sure, I'll put a new tube in if I get a flat on a ride but then patch up the punctured tube at home with the Rema kit and re-install it, keeping the new one available for the next road repair.
Glueless patch kits are good for eventually discarding a tube after it keeps losing air. And buying more tubes & glueless patch kits.

 Ridiculous Shipping prices, September 12, 2010
By Jimbrowski (On a tugboat, San Francisco Bay)
|
|
You could mail this thing in an envelope with three first class stamps. How can you rationalize spending over $4 on shipping something that costs about $2? Go to your local shop in this case. Ridiculous. I use this product and it works, therefore two stars.

A classic and essential for every bike repair kit, July 22, 2011
By srz

I've been using Rema patches forever (more than 28 years), and they have never let me down. The only time when they didn't work was with one of these self-sealing slime tubes, the "sealant" slime didn't seal the tube at all and prevented the patch from sticking to the tube.
The most important thing is that you follow the instructions and be patient to take enough time for each step.
First, find the hole. Roughen the area around it, the roughened area should be slightly larger than the patch you want to apply. Put a thin layer of vulcanizing fluid on this area and wait until it seems to be dry, but AT LEAST five minutes! Carefully peal off the aluminum foil from the patch, then apply the patch, and firmly press it down. Take care that the edges of the patch stick to the tube. If you try to peel the plastic from the patch, take care that the patch is still connected to the tube, sometimes it comes off. I simply leave it on the patch. Now put the tube back on the rim, inflate it slightly, put on the tire and reassemble the wheel. Pay attention that no part of the tube is squeezed between the rim, then reassemble the wheel. By the time you're done with that, the patch has sealed itself to the tube and you can safely inflate it completely.

Worked like a charm--the second time, November 30, 2010
By A. Disch
|
|
didn't seem to "stick" the first time but did the second. Probably user error. Patch has been holding up to my 5 mile daily RT commute for a month now so i'm pleased. and for the price you can't go wrong-- really tiny and light so easy to carry with you ever time you bike!

compact size, March 19, 2010
By T. Burgess (Tulsa, OK)
|
|
This is a small compact size box that all the required pieces fit in, which is handy when stowing in your seat bag. I haven't, thankfully, actually used the product, and will update if I do, but I have an interesting story to tell about it. I received this and a multi-tool on the same day, and some tire tools etc. and my seat bag a few days later. I put the bag in place under the seat, added the tools and stuff to 'load it up' and then I couldn't find the rubber patch kit. It is a small box, so it could have fallen of the table or something. I looked everywhere, couldn't find it, so I thought I might as well give it up for lost and get another sometime. Later that evening, I wanted to try the expansion zipper on the seat bag, which also worked pretty well, and I removed everything from the bag, and guess what was at the end of the bag, yep, the tire patch kit, it was the first thing I had put in there. I had no recollection of doing so.
Anyway, buy it, I am sure it will work as promised, they do have a small sheet of instructions in the box too, which helps. Good insurance in case you need it one day. The only drawback is the shipping, buy it alone and it would be cheaper to get it locally. Maybe if you bought a 1/2 dozen or something, it might be easier to bare.
9-6-2010 update
OK, I finally had to actually use this to patch a small hole in my road bikes 700x23 tire. I found the leak location real easy as it was a small metal chip on the outside of the tire that punctured in enough to deflate the inner tube. At first I didn't put enough glue on to allow the entire patch to cover the area; I would have had some of the patch not glued down. So after I let it dry a little, I added some more cement and then let that dry before adding the patch. My point is, put glue in a larger area than you might think you will need. However, it all went very well, and having to keep my tires up at around 110 all the time, I have not had any further leaks apart from the usual topping up after a couple of weeks that seems normal? for all my high pressure tires. I recently obtained a set of patches from my LBS that does not use cement to patch a hole, it just glues right on, I haven't used this, but it seems a little strange or different than I am used to. I hope that works when I might need it, as I purchased it for my other road bike.

Nice patch kit, December 31, 2011
By The Penguin (Santa Clara, CA)
|
|
I pick these up at my LBS. Vulcanizing, epoxy based kits are superior to the stick-on patches. Patch kits are lightweight and this kit fits nicely in my seat pack. I also carry a spare tube. I've never had more than one flat at a time and it's easy enough to use the spare tube out on the road. Sometimes finding the hole in the tire requires inflating the tube to 15 psi, putting it in water and looking for bubbles. It's also easier to patch tires at home where there is a good flat surface and good light to see what you are doing. I've had no problems with the patched tubes, but the holes have always been very small. Once you open the epoxy, it will start drying out. I replace my kit a year after I first open the epoxy tube. This ensures the epoxy will work.
