Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to bicycle tube patch kits from hardware stores?
These professional KEX patches are significantly larger (3-1/8 inch) and use vulcanizing rubber that creates a molecular bond with your tube. Hardware store patch kits typically use smaller patches with basic adhesive that can fail under pressure or temperature changes, making them temporary fixes rather than permanent repairs.
Do I need special cement for these inner tube patches?
Yes, these patches require KEX KX-511F flammable chemical cement for proper vulcanizing action. Regular tire patch cement won't create the permanent molecular bond these patches are designed for. The chemical cement activates the vulcanizing process that makes the repair permanent and flexible.
Can these patches be used on bicycle tires as well as car tires?
Absolutely. These 3-1/8 inch patches work on any rubber inner tube, from small bicycle tubes to large truck tires. The generous size makes them especially effective for larger punctures or when you want extra coverage for maximum reliability on any vehicle type.
How long do these tube patch repairs typically last?
When properly installed with KEX chemical cement, these vulcanizing patches create permanent repairs that can last the lifetime of the inner tube. The vulcanizing process chemically bonds the patch to the tube material, creating a repair that's often stronger than the original tube rubber.
