Bell STOPPER Patch Kit

I just got a new Schwinn Volare clone, and on the first day got a flat from a misaligned rim strip (a sharp-edged spoke recess). I wanted to ride the bike around, to finish adjusting the derailleurs, and used this patch kit. I followed the instructions EXACTLY. The patch failed when I inflated the tube to 60 psi (the bike has Kenda 700 x 28 tires, which have a max inflation of 85 psi).To be sure, the puncture was fairly extreme...it was ragged, with 2 small "tears" each about 1/16th of an inch. Also, this was near a juncture of 2 of those raised ribs that come about during the manufacturing process. But still, the site was well buffed, and the patch itself seemed to adhere well.This patch kit may suffice for a small, well-defined puncture on a smooth part of the tube, but otherwise, it's a roll of the dice. You really can't choose what kind of flat you will get, so I can't recommend carrying this kit.As an aside, the wrench is no longer included with the kit (it's not listed on the kit package labeling). The tire levers are EXCELLENT, and they nest together, so I'll be keeping them. I have a seat bag, and carry an extra tube, and have ordered a patch kit which uses glue.

I like this kit because of the patches. No messy rubber cement. The patches just adhere to the tube after its cleaned. Some other reviewers indicate that they don't stick, but I've never had a problem with mine. I guess if you had a leak at the stem or at a seam, there may be a problem, but that hasn't happened to me.

These are easy to use with no mess. I used these on a jogging stroller a few months ago and they seem to be holding the air fine.

I ordered 1 in hope of of getting the wrench so I could use it to adjust the hub's bearing cones. But the package arrived with everything except the wrench. I do not want to waste time to return it for just over 5 dollars. Patches and tire levers are not worth it, the levers are too thick. Anyone want to get patches can go to Walmart to get a Slime kit for few dollars at motocycle section which has different sizes to suite your repair and they work well too. Amazon should update the product picture and description so the buyers know what they're getting.

I had never used a patch before so I figured to just buy a new inner tube but couldn't find them in stock at local stores. So I decided to try this because it was a much cheaper option and was surprised at how well it worked. I even used it on another bike and months later still holding up.

This patch kit works just as well as any other kit. The plus side is that it costs less and comes with a bigger tube of cement than other kits.

I was really glad to find this as local stores quick stocking this item. I have always used this type of patch on my mountain bike with very good success, and they had been very inexpensively available in the past at walmart, academy, kmart, etc. But these stores have stopped stocking it.

works good, currently patched tube has held air like new for few months. Make sure to scuff up the area and clean it as much as possible for the best stick.

Fueran perfectas, pero en vez de esos círculos que no sirven, hubieran puesto una medida para llaves Allen. Según así decía la descripción. :s

I have used a number of these type of kits and the most important thing is the ease of taking a tire off the rim or allowing you to get the inner tube out. The quality of the 3 plastic lever tools are good enough to do the job and at this price it does not hurt to have a couple around.I would suggest however to try to get a kit that has alloy levers just for longevity and they tend to make it easier to lift the tire out off the Rim due to the slimmer casting. However the plastic levers will still to the job.

Just finally used one a few weeks ago and it worked great.

Es un excelente producto a muy accesible precio, aun no lo ocupo pero me parece una solucion practica para una ponchadura de emergencia sobre todo por que no requiere pegamento adicional y es muy portable
