BELL Deluxe Patch-It Bicycle Tube Repair Kit

As another poster stated, the patches don't stick. Actually, they stick to the backing paper. I had to ruin 5 of them just to get one off the backer. They looked like fail, but I didn't open the package until I got home. I figured if it was made by Bell, it would be good to go. The patch busted loose when I got 30# of air in the tire. I'm goimg to see if they stil make the old school Camel kits that actually work. I patched dozens of flats as a kid and never had a problem with the old style rubber patch and rubber cement that Volcanized the patch to the tube.

I'd give it zero stars but the system requires at least one.

I bought this product knowing that it would fail, but since it was the only kit they had i went ahead and bought it. Patched my mountain bike which had a pinch flat, 1 of about 1.5 millimeters and another one of .5 milimeters. Make sure you sand the hole really good around it so that the patch can stick. After i patched my bike I was expecting it to go flat again, but i went on a 25 mile ride on a dirt road and i got no flat at all. The patches will work as long as you do a good job sanding the tube, the preassure will do the rest when inflated. Very satisfied and surprised with this product.

These have the adhesive power of post-it notes. If you want to stick a small flat object to your wall, save your money and just buy the post-it notes. If you want to actually fix a flat tire on your bicycle buy something else.
