Product Information
Full details
The Rema Puncture Repair Kit is an essential maintenance tool for cyclists of all skill levels, providing a reliable method for permanently repairing bicycle tyre punctures on the road or in the workshop. By utilizing professional-grade, feathered-edge patches that vulcanize to the inner tube, this kit ensures a smooth, bulge-free repair that holds up under high pressure; however, it does require a bit of patience and precision during the application of the vulcanizing fluid to ensure a proper seal.

FAQs
Can this kit be used on tubeless tires?
This specific kit is designed primarily for use with inner tubes, though the vulcanisation process is highly effective for that application.
How long should I wait before inflating the tire?
Allow the vulcanizing fluid to become tacky or dull-looking (usually 2-3 minutes) before applying the patch, and wait an additional few minutes after applying before re-inflating.
Are the tyre levers safe for carbon rims?
Yes, the included plastic tyre levers are designed to be rim-friendly and are generally safer for carbon surfaces than metal alternatives.
Is the repair permanent?
Yes, the vulcanisation process essentially fuses the patch to the tube, making it a permanent, structural repair.
Can I use this on a large slit in the tyre?
These patches are designed for punctures in the inner tube. They are not intended to repair structural gashes in the outer tyre casing.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not sticking to the tube
Ensure the tube surface was thoroughly cleaned, sanded, and completely dry before applying the vulcanising fluid.
The tube develops a bulge after inflation
This often occurs if the patch was not pressed firmly enough or if the area was not sanded properly. Ensure pressure is applied evenly for at least 30 seconds.
Vulcanizing fluid is too thick or dried up
The fluid has an expiration or storage life. Always keep the cap sealed tightly after each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is highly compatible with most mountain, road, and ATB bicycle inner tubes. When using the plastic tyre levers, ensure you are not pinching the tube against the rim to avoid secondary punctures. After completing a repair, it is critical to check the inside of your tyre casing for the original sharp object—such as a piece of glass or a thorn—before re-inflating, as failing to remove the debris will result in an immediate repeat puncture. Keep the vulcanising fluid tightly capped when not in use to prevent it from drying out, and store the kit in a cool, dry place to maintain the shelf life of the rubber patches.
