Full details
The Topeak Rescue Box is an ideal puncture repair solution for both road and mountain bike enthusiasts who prioritize weight-conscious gear without compromising on preparedness.

FAQs
Does this kit work for tubeless tires?
This kit is primarily designed for inner tube puncture repair, though the patches can be used for emergency tubeless internal patching in some instances.
Can I refill the patches?
While the case is designed to hold the included patches, you can replenish them with standard similarly-sized circular repair patches once the original supply is exhausted.
Is the case waterproof?
The aluminum case is water-resistant, protecting the contents from rain and road spray during standard cycling conditions.
What is the weight of the Rescue Box?
The complete kit weighs approximately 18 grams.
Does it include glue?
No, the included patches are pre-glued 'flypaper' style, eliminating the need for messy liquid cement.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not adhering to the tube
Ensure the tube surface is completely dry and has been sufficiently roughened using the included abrasive sheet before applying the patch.
Case is difficult to open
Ensure the sliding lid is free of road grit. If stuck, clear the side channels with a dry cloth.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The kit requires no assembly; it arrives ready to use. To maintain the effectiveness of the patches, ensure the internal aluminum compartment remains free of moisture and dirt. If you store spare chain links inside, ensure they are lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion over long periods. When not in use, store the Rescue Box in a stable location within your saddlebag to prevent the aluminum case from vibrating against other metal tools, which could cause cosmetic wear.
