I've got a bunch of patch kits that contain yellow

inside an
extra plastic wrap and all, didn't help. So we had to use
my spare
tube.

Do you guys know a brand that is better and where a bunch
of these
little tubes could be bought sans patches? Not so much
for me but
for other riders because many reported similar problems.

The cement and patch are designed to work with one
another. There are
chemicals on the patch that are activated by chemicals in
the cement.
Different manufacturers use different activators. You will
get best
results, if you don't mix manufacturers.

I've found the Rema Tip-Top patches with their tubes of cold
vulcanizing fluid to work extremely well.


After recommendations in this NG I bought a larger pot with
tube cement and with a dabbing tool mounted inside the lid.
I have used that on various patches and it worked well. It's
just way to large to carry along in a pannier.


Wrong pannier:

67 liters.


That can be topped:

80 liters. That's a lot of growlers.
