These are great patches

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.

Transportable with the right size patch for a bike tube.
by Grout

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.

Great addition to any workshop to fix flats and save tubes.

I don't carry this on my bike, but it's a staple in my workshop. I fix punctured tubes from time to time, and the Park VP-1 patch kit is my go-to choice.

These patch kits are a must! When I blow a tube, I usually put a new tube in and then patch when I get home. I have tubes with multiple patches & they are just as reliable as a brand new tube.

check the fluid
by FFA rider

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.

Works consistently.
by Merlin

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!

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.
