Easy to apply: quick and easy procedure
Strong adhesion: they hold even under pressure
Versatile: suitable for all inner tubes
Compact: easy to carry
Economical: they avoid the need to replace the tube
How do patches work?
Patches are small adhesive patches that are applied to the punctured inner tube after preparing the surface. Once applied correctly, they create a permanent seal that resists air pressure and allows the tube to continue to be used as if it were new.
When are patches needed?
Patches are essential for punctures during a bike ride, for repairing flat tubes at home, as an emergency solution during trips and tours, for repairing multiple punctures on the same tube, or simply to always have a backup solution.
How are they applied?
Locate the hole in the tube, lightly sand the area around the hole, apply vulcanizing glue (if required by the type of patch), let it dry for a few minutes, apply the patch, pressing firmly, and wait for it to fully adhere before re-inflation.
Types of Patches
There are self-adhesive patches (ready to use, no glue required) and traditional patches (require vulcanizing glue, for a stronger and more durable adhesion). Both types are effective when applied correctly.
Complete Repair Kit
Patches are often sold in kits that also include vulcanizing glue, sandpaper, and instructions. Having a complete kit in your saddle bag allows you to always be independent in the event of a puncture.
Why always have repair patches?
Ideal for cycle tourists, urban commuters, mountain bike enthusiasts, road cyclists, and anyone who wants to be independent in the event of a puncture. Repair patches take up little space but can save you from difficult situations away from home.
