Maybe this deal should be in the grocery section then. :confused:

I used to buy these but gave up after having glue that didn't work from two different tins. I now carry an Inner Tube, much easier than repairing a puncture!!"

Hmmm not sure what is happening on HUKD today, lots of posts for standard pound shop items which are proven to be of poor quality.
Thanks OP... But is there anyone out there who can attest to having repeatedly used these specific kits to successfully repair punctures...?!
My experience is that they are manufactured to a spec that makes the kit 15p delivered from China to the pound shops, in other words very poor quality.

These are good but I'd prefer more patches, no allen keys, inlet tubes and no multi wrench! There never seem to be enough patches in any of these kits. Another tube of adhesive would be good as these easily dry up when opened

Hex keys are cheese.
Spannery thing is cheese.
Adhesive isn't great too.

They're implying they'd rather it didn't and instead include more patches as most cyclists will already have the keys and wrench.

Self adhesive patches, no glue, no mess

The ones that I tried really weren't very good, didn't seem to stick well. I just take new or repaired tubes with me when I ride, and repair punctures at home with a traditional repair kit...

I got a big puncture through my armoured tyre the other day from a broken bottle and whereas I usually just replace the inner I decided to try this repair kit out and now rate it the dogs danglies!
Bought these 3 year ago repair the tube and it is still going on. Hot from me

They are always this price, patches are quite large so that suitable for road bikes

I would never let those metal tire levers near any of my wheels, I can hear the scratching sound just looking at them :confused:

Tbh I always carry a tube or even two on epics but there will be one day when my luck is out, these are the ones you want...Park P02C Glueless Patch Kit

I prefer the Poundworld Cycleworx kit. It's similar to this, but you get a 12ml tube of glue which is much bigger than the 5g tubes you get in most repair kits. I've repaired loads of punctures with it, no problem.
If you're concerned about the glue drying out, my advice is 1) Squeeze some glue into the hole before replacing the cap 2) Put some PTFE (Plumber's) tape on the threads of the neck

Put some Poundland stuff in a vintage-style tin and sell it to hipsters for £15. Excellent business model!

With replacement tubes available for £2.50 or less it seems foolish to mess with repairs which can fail again.

I have never had a repair fail and how is it foolish to take a kit with you to fix in the field so you don't have to walk home 30k, bizarre comment
