FAQs

How many patches are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 6 patches and a scrubber.

Are these patches suitable for tubeless tires?

No, these patches are specifically designed for inner tubes, not tubeless tires.

Can I reuse the patches?

No, these are single-use patches.

What kind of punctures can these patches fix?

They are designed to fix small punctures caused by thorns, glass, or similar debris.

Do I need to carry glue with these patches?

No, these are glueless patches, so no glue is required.

How long should I hold the patch on the tube?

Apply firm pressure for about 30 seconds to ensure proper adhesion.

Can I use these patches on a motorcycle tube?

No, these patches are designed for bicycle inner tubes only.

What if I can't find the puncture?

Inflate the tube and listen or feel for escaping air. You can also submerge the tube in water to find the leak.

Troubleshooting

Patch is not sticking properly.

Ensure the tube surface is clean and dry. Use the scrubber to roughen the area. Apply firm pressure to the patch for at least 30 seconds.

Tire is still losing air after applying the patch.

Check the patch for proper seal. If the puncture is large or the patch is not properly applied, consider using another patch or replacing the tube.

Patch lifted off the tube after some time.

Ensure the tube surface was properly prepared. Make sure the patch is fully seated around the edges.
