seeker Date Reviewed: July 18, 2012 Strengths: Saves 3-5 minutes it takes for glue to dry, in a repair process that takes me 10-15 minutes total depending largely on the difficulty or dismounting and remounting tire onto rim. Glueless patches are better than patchless patches (they're better than nothing). Weaknesses: Most glueless patches I've used fail hours to weeks after the repair. I estimate the failure rate at well above 50%. Traditional glued patches rarely let go on me, I'd say much less than 10%. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Similar Products Used: many brands of traditional patching kits WITH glue Bike Setup: not pertinent

from Washington, DC, USA Date Reviewed: June 18, 2010 Strengths: It's small and neat like breath strips. Weaknesses: It doesn't seal any holes without the glue. Air bubbles form like on bad window tinting. It's like stopping a water hose leak with duct tape. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Rock Creek Park Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $6.00 Purchased At: Hudson Trail Outfitt Similar Products Used: Rubber patches and glue, fix-a-flat, slime, rubber cement. Bike Setup: I use rugged tread tires, a hard plastic tire liner, slime-filled innertubes, fix-a-flat, this cheap GP-2 Pre-Glued Super Patch Kit, and now regular old-fashioned patches.
