Description
VP-1 Vulcanizing Patch Kit
A flat tire doesnt 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.
