RocRide 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 rubber2. LatexThis 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 freeDidn’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!

Have a 29" Mongoose hardtail single speed hexfit bought for 99$ on clearance several years ago. Replaced original tubes with Slime tubes for 10 bucks per wheel. Front one slashed by 40 yr old BMX rider in front of grocery store (jealous of my bigger bmx style MTB I suppose), never met or knew dude b4, had to cut out to get 200 dollars food home put orig. tube back in. Truck stop compressor blew rear tube in less time than I had to touch valve stem to chuck, orig tube had small leak, tried half dozen self adhesive type patches came in two different emergency repair kits I had for my bikes. None ever came close to holding pressure. Not wasting time and money for slime tires anymore nor buying tubes for 10 dollars or tires for $30, needed rubber cement type patches AND rubber CEMENT!!!! Worked first time bike up and running great after 3 weeks. Gary Fisher 26" too small for my needs in daily transpo, "LUV and NEED 29", but everything three times the price I paid before, so economical old school tech for me is was and will always be the way too go. Be buying more tubes of rubber cement and some sheets of patches, and new tires and tubes too, when the manufactures start making them and forcing the price back into normal range again. Maybe buy another 29" bike used or new if less than CRAZEEE priced!! Til then Ill patch my leaking holes with CEMENT AND Patch, cause those others were worthless waste of time. THANK YOU Nine40e corp, my type of business/seller. Fair fast and friendly. Product exactly as needed and expected , be ordering again soon!

This kit is perfect. Comes with a small container to hold items and easily transportable. Patch kit has been great

Good patch kit

Patched up two bicycle tubes with this kit quickly. Both still holding air months and months later. Easy to use.
