[Closed] What inner tube patches?

Halfords used to do a sheet you could cut up. I use rema. I didn't know park did owt bar their self-adhesive ones.

My LBS sells strips od Tip Top (IIRC) parches for 99p, but Tesco sell a full reapir kit with glue and chalk for less than that, so guess where I go....

Halfords big patch plus1

(How do you do a plus sign on here anyway?)

"+"

simples!

Seriously?

the big strip of cut your own patches, is the best stuff by a LONG LONG way imo.

"+"1
+1

Hmm I see no pluses but i can do minues -(-1)

EDIT: Well that worked! But I don't see the + in my post previews 🙂

Not a fan of patches (or tubes infact), but have used Leaches from Halfords and seem to be ok. They are self stick so much quicker than the old glue ones.

-1 for park. Great if you need them on the trail, but crap if you store a previously inflated innertube. They wrinkle up and stop sealing.

pre glued patches, IME, are all crap.

nothing comes close to a tube of rubber cement and some proper rubber patches.
no slower either i dont think, easy to keep a small tube, and some pre cut squares in a camel back (i keep mine in an old park patch box actually, with the square of sandpaper)

Rema Tip-Top are good for on the fly punctures - the plastic backing splits down the middle making it easy to apply them.

I found with the Park self adhesive ones that when the glue gets warm the patch leaks ie you leave your bike in the car on a warm day.

Weldtite Patch Strip 155mm x 95mm, chop it to size, buy a tube of their glue at the smae time. They works ace and you have a supply lasting months/years for a couple of quid.

I used to use Leeches, which are great. Now using the Park ones... Never had a problem and held despiyte being stored for a few months, frozen and baked... Maybe I'm just lucky...
