Lumintrail Bicycle Bike Tire Tube Repair Kit - 6 Rubber Patches + Sandpaper + Rubber Patch Cement, in Compact Portable Case (1 or Multiple Pack)

Here's my take on this patch kit, and patch kits in general.The foil-backed patches are probably all made in the same factory in China, whether they're in the most expensive Park Tools patch kit, or a budget no-name kit like this one.Same for the rubber cement - inside the tube, pricey private-labeled rubber cement is the same rubber cement as what's in a kit like this.Sandpaper? If there isn't enough sandpaper for you, or you don't like the quality of it, cut a strip of your own. If you don't own any sandpaper, you probably should go get some.The tiny little box is key - just enough space to hold the essentials. The little box and two tire levers is all you need.While you should buy the cheapest patch kit you can find, don't skimp on the tire levers. If your tire levers can't pry the bead over the rim, you're not going to fix your flat.The biggest thing wrong with any patch kit is that people don't know how to use it. Learn how to use your patch kit. Maybe even try patching an inner tube before you find yourself sitting on the side of the road 20 miles from home, with zero PSI and no cell reception.So in summary, the equation is [cheap patch kit] + [good tire levers] + [patching know-how].But there's one more thing... once you puncture the seal on that tube of rubber cement, no matter how carefully you put the cap back on, or whether you smear vaseline on the threads, the next time you need to use it, almost inevitably, it will be dried-up! So once you open the cement, unless you think you can remember to check it before each ride, keep it at home as a spare, and put a fresh, unopened one in your kit.You can get tiny tubes of rubber cement less than a dollar each if you buy a bunch, and as long as you don't pierce the seal, they'll last nearly indefinitely.

I bought a 6 pack which I'm glad I did. Gives me plenty of patches as the kits are a little slim on the number they have. The glue and patches are far better than the newer no glue stick on type. I fell into the trap of thinking the stick on patches would work, so I'm glad to have real glue on patches. Make sure you properly sand the inter tub before patching. If there is a molding seam (on the inter tube), then sand it out as I had a leak come from there even though the patch was well bonded to the inter tube.

I needed a heavy duty patch system for my high pressure tires ( 100psi ) and the little stick ons weren't doing the trick. So, I'm trying these - so far so good. Not many in the little handy box but cheep enough.

It does the job but you only get 4 patches, 2 big and 2 small thats it.

I bought this to fix rubber boots. The patches maybe to small but I can use the file and glue with an old inner tube patch... like my father used to do in the 60's. A person can't even find this product in a store.

The batch size less than outside size not to cover the damage area , plus it will not stick tide to the rubber tube ! It may work for a small nail hole , no luck with bigger than that . Waste of money !

this works as promised and is lightweight and in tiny packaging, so its easy to throw in a backpack and take with you on the trail.

After months I need to complain about this one.I would like to say to say that this is a bit too thin for common users like me. I failed the first couple of attempts and practised usnig friend's, coming back to this one and failed again.I used this one months ago. After a couple of failures I bought a new tyre.A week ago I used the last piece. The problem is that I have had successful patching for a couple of times with my friend's patches before using this last piece and I thought I'm experienced. But this patch broke this last time.Well I'm not sure if someone could have a high successful rate with this, but I do recommend that you be super familiar, not just experienced, with patching before using this. Otherwise buying a new tyre might be more rational.
