Vulcanizing Patch Kit

A flat tire doesn't have to spell the end of your ride. The Park Tool VP-1 contains everything you need to repair a punctured inner tube and get back on the road. Using the included vulcanizing fluid, the butyl patches form a molecular bond with the inner tube, ensuring a durable, permanent repair. The process is simple: spread a thin layer of vulcanizing fluid over the area, let it dry, remove the backing from the patch, apply pressure (especially at the edges), and inspect the bond after a couple of minutes. Compatible with nearly all bicycle inner tubes, the VP-1 kit comes in a compact box, making it perfect for carrying in a saddle bag or jersey pocket.
