RocRide 16-PC Inner Tube Patch Bicycle Repair Kit. Also for Inflatable Dinghies, ATVs, BMX and Motorcycles.

BOTTOMLINE: Nine40e (Seller) and RocRide (Manufacturer) rock! Really!! Fantastic retailer and manufacturer with amazing customer service and a good product! “Very satisfied” is an understatement. Super happy! TIPS FOR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS: There are two types of bicycle tire tubes: 1. Butyl rubber 2. Latex This product is specifically for Butyl rubber tires. It uses vulcanizing cement to seal the puncture. It will NOT work for Latex tubes. For Latex tubes, use the “Glueless” patch kit product. I am not sure how to identify if a tube is of the rubber or latex kind. I leave that as an exercise for you! 😊 SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SELLER/MANUFACTURER: It would help to add information about the different types of tubes and the applicability of this item. I don’t think it is reasonable to expect customers to know this information. I am guessing that the negative reviews that have complained about the patch not working could likely have used it on a latex tire, like I did. MY EXPERIENCE: Bought this vulcanizing patch kit to fix punctured rear tube. Applied the patch as instructed. Patch didn’t hold and came off soon after inflating tire. Disappointed. Wondered what went wrong. Ordered a new tube and got the bicycle back on the road. Front tube punctured after couple of days. Applied patch as instructed, this time even more carefully. Patch didn’t hold and came off soon after inflating tire - again. Disappointed and annoyed. Curious to find out if the fault was in the product or in me. Contacted RocRide with a picture of unpatched patch. Received response in only a few minutes: - My tube needs a different type of patch - the glueless kind, not the vulcanizing kind - I will be getting a refund - I will be getting a glueless patch kit sample for free Didn’t ask or expect a refund. They gave it. Didn’t expect a free sample. They sent it. Applied glueless patch as instructed. Worked perfectly. Super happy! Thank you Nine40e and RocRide!

Ordered this repair kit to fix a leak in an innertube on my road bike. Worked nicely. Still have several patches left over.

It's the right form factor for the pockets. Effective. However it would be nice if it came with rough sandpaper rather than a rasp, as I find sandpaper to be better at removing the "lip" seam that a lot of tubes have.

Excellent bike patch kit repair tool kit. This has everything you need.

Has all you need for those horrible accidents!

The product arrived on time. It's all packed into a little case reminding me of a small harmonica. There were no instructions. I pretty much know how to use a tube repair kit from my kid days, but there were some pieces I didn't recognize. It came with three "sticks" that seemed to be levers for prying the tire from the rim to get at the tube. They're about 3" long, plastic, and have a curved, spoon end and a hook end. Don't know what the hook is for, but the curved end worked well to get between the tire and rim. Then it broke ("Made In Taiwan" printed on it), and the snapped piece went inside the tire to join the tube. So i went back to my kid days and used two flat screwdrivers to work the tire bead off the rim to get at the tube. Fixing the tube was pretty standard fare; the glue worked, and the kit comes with eight patches in three sizes. Overall however I expect better. Instead of those pry bar plastic thingies, they ought to include a valve stem core removal tool.

The description of the items were very well written and the durability against puncture as well as design

Lucky me, my tire got a flat the first week after I bought this set. The stickers work amazing and haven't had any trouble with it since. Easy to use. My only problem is the plastic spoked you are suppose to use to pop the tire off broke way to easy. All of them except for one broke.

There was no Metall scuffer and I tried 3 times to patch different tubes, of course after cleanig and scuff up the area, and it came off easily. I have done it many times before with other brands and they never came off. Do not recommend

What I need was the two inch patch for a snake bit. All I got was just two packs of six 1" tiny Round Patches and glue. No other accessories.
