Review by Albert N.Reviewed 8/3/2023by Albert N.Cycling EnthusiastYucaipa, CADoes Not Work!Thought I would try these, as they are cheaper than the Park Tools glueless patches. Unfortunately, they don't work. I patched somes tubes at home, and the next day, the patch edges (tube width sides) had peeled off, leaving only about 33% of the patch remaining adhered, and the test volume of air in the tubes had evacuated. I pressed back the edges and tried again. The next day, the air was gone again. And I bought two kits!

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/28/2022by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastTulsa, OK1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The glue does not holdI had high hopes for these patches. They install easily and quickly like the Park patches and adhere completely after install.
But after about a week worth of riding, the glue degrades (or maybe dries out) causing the patch to begin lifting up around the edges. This happened on two separate tube/patch installs, so it wasn't a fluke. I've been using the Park self adhesive patches for 20+ years and 99/100 times they perform like you would expect. Clearly, adhesive patches do lose their ability to seal a puncture over time, but this is ridiculous.
You really need to avoid these. I barely avoided crashing out on a simple bend in the road because you get no warning when patch starts lifting up.

Review by RonReviewed 7/27/2022by RonCompetitive RacerAnn ArborWorks great, especially if the tube is CLEANWe all know that a tube of glue is only good immediately after opening, come back a week later and it has completely evaporated. I have far more patches than I have glue to use with them! That's why I decided to try the glueless patches. I think they're terrific! My recommendation however is that you carry alcohol wipes with you and CLEAN the tube thoroughly, let the alcohol evaporate, scuff the tube lightly, then apply the patch. This works well even when the tube is not immediately inflated inside the tire, i.e., no pressure applied to the patch other than your thumb.

Review by Alex AReviewed 5/18/2023by Alex ACycling EnthusiastPortland, ORAvoid - failed immediately. These failed me when I really needed them to work on a group ride. Many people waiting for me to do the repair, once done, it was an awful feeling for it to go flat again in 5 mins.
I have yet to see a sticker-type patch product that works. S

Review by JsocksReviewed 10/24/2021by JsocksCycling EnthusiastPressure is the secret.I decided to give these patches a try after reading the reviews. But after trying it on two flats I had saved for a patch day I was disappointed that the adhesive didn’t hold so I had to trash the tubes. Then I remembered reading that tire pressure was the key. So with the next flat I assembled the tube back in the tire and pumped it to pressure the patch. Presto, it sealed. Of course the included instructions gave no similar recommendations. I’m thankful that I was able to learn from others experience.

Review by DylanMReviewed 3/10/2022by DylanMDaily CommuterPortland, Oregon1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Sometimes a glueless patch is exactly the ticketWhen you're out on a ride with others and you get a flat (and don't have a spare tube), making everyone wait for glue to dry just isn't right. Glueless patches, like these fine ones, are exactly the thing. One thing to watch out for, you should sand-paper the affected region a little less than for glued patches.

Review by AaronReviewed 1/2/2017by AaronCrown point4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Very convenient product.Bike patches are easy and quick to use, i wouldn't want anything else when i go on those long buke trips where blowing a tire is always a risk. I have only had to use one patch thankfully but it has held up for a few months now.

Review by GaryReviewed 10/17/2018by GaryCycling Enthusiast553462 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Glueless Patch extends tires wearI had a flat that left a cut in a tire with significant tread left on it. I put the glueless Patch on the cut in the interior of the tire and it has maintained the integrity of the tire and allowed me to continue to ride on the tire.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/8/2018by Anonymous4 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Functional but bigSo far the one patch I tried worked. It was easy to apply and has held to date.
The case is large. The Park patches are thinner and smaller case. I have very limited space to pack anything on my bike so the more compact an item is the better.
