Product Description
VP-1 Vulcanizing Patch Kit
A flat tire doesn’t have to spell the end of your ride. The Park Tool Vulcanizing Patch Kit comes with everything you need to repair a punctured inner tube and get it ready for reinstallation and inflation. Together with the included self-vulcanizing fluid, the butyl patches create a molecular bond with the inner tube, permanently repairing any punctures. The application process is easy: simply spread a thin layer of self-vulcanizing fluid over the area, allow it to dry, remove the backing from the patch, firmly apply pressure (especially at the edges), and inspect the bond after a minute or two. Compatible with virtually all bicycle inner tubes.
With its small form factor (2.75″x1.875″x.75″, 17 grams), the VP-1 is an ideal size to tuck into a saddle bag or jersey pocket. The VP-1 comes with four round patches (20 mm and 25 mm diameter) for smaller holes as well as two oval patches (25 mm x 35 mm) for wider cuts.
TRUSTED SINCE 1963
Since our origins in the back of a bike shop in 1963, it has been our sole mission to design and manufacture high-quality tools that empower mechanics and riders of all skill levels to service their bicycles. As with our other 500+ tools, our patch kits are a product of our decades of experience and expertise in the industry, in the shop and on the trail.
The VP-1 Patch Kit includes six thin and flexible patches with tapered edges to blend with the tube’s profile.
A tube of self-vulcanizing fluid bonds the patch to the tube at the molecular level.
Each kit is packaged in a small plastic box with sandpaper for cleaning the tube and instructions.
Customers say
Customers find the patch kit effective, with one mentioning it works well on tiny holes, and they appreciate that it comes with plenty of patches and fits in backpacks. Moreover, the kit offers good value, being cheaper than replacing tubes, and customers find it easy to use with clear instructions. Additionally, the product is well-made and durable, lasting longer than pre-glued alternatives. However, the glue quality receives mixed feedback, with some customers reporting good adhesion while others find it doesn’t hold at all.
