Product Information
Full details
The Topeak Rescue Box is an essential companion for road and mountain cyclists who need a reliable, space-saving solution for unexpected flats and mechanical issues. By combining glueless patches with a clever storage compartment for chain components in an ultra-lightweight aluminum case, it offers maximum preparedness for emergency repairs. While it provides excellent coverage for puncture incidents, it is important to note that users must carry their own spare chain links or pins, as these are not included in the kit.

FAQs
Are chain links included with the Topeak Rescue Box?
No, the internal compartment is designed to store your own spare chain links or pins, which are not provided with the kit.
Do I need to carry glue for these patches?
No, the included FlyPaper patches are glueless and utilize a specialized adhesive that works on contact.
Is the case waterproof?
The case is water-resistant, protecting the contents from rain, sweat, and road spray, but it should not be submerged.
Can I use this for tubeless tires?
The patches are primarily designed for traditional inner tubes. For tubeless specific repairs, consider a dedicated tire plug system.
How much does the kit weigh?
The total weight of the Rescue Box is approximately 18 grams.
Troubleshooting
Patch is not sticking to the tube
Ensure the tube surface is completely clean, dry, and properly roughened with the included abrasive sheet before applying the patch.
Case is difficult to open
Check the perimeter of the case for debris or grit that might be interfering with the latch; clean with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Rescue Box requires no complex setup; simply ensure your patches are stored flat within the case. To keep the kit in optimal condition, wipe the exterior of the aluminum case with a damp cloth if it becomes dirty after a muddy ride. Ensure the case is fully clicked shut to maintain its water-resistant seal. For the internal chain storage, verify that the links are dry before placing them into the compartment to prevent corrosion. When using the abrasive sheet, sand the tube just enough to remove the glossy surface layer, as excessive sanding can thin the rubber prematurely.
