Park ToolTR-1 - Reparaturset für Reifen und Schlauch

The week this product arrived, a friend managed to get a thorn in his tire. We rode to his house and completed the job in 5 minutes. Here are the steps:-Turned bike upside down and removed wheel-removed inner tube from tire-Found the hole (you may need water or soapy water to help)-Sanded hole area to be patched at least the size of the patch-Applied the sticky patch. Be careful removing it from it's backing because it is a gooey sticky mess if you aren't careful. Smoothed it out to remove air bubbles-installation is opposite of removal. Align valve in tube with hole in wheel first-Push tire and tube onto wheel.-Pump with air and go bike!The bike was a Trek about 7 years old, 26" standard style, not MTB or racing type. We did not need the included tire tools, just an air pump. It comes with a little piece of sand paper, but since I knew about it before I left I brought my own sandpaper so I can use the kit sand paper in a real emergency. Sanding the hole prior to patching seems important to remove any loose grim around the hole too allow proper adhesion. The patches are very gooey and sticky. This kit seems good for punctures without having to carry a spare inner tube but won't help if the wound is much larger than a hole from something the size of a standard sized 3.5mm headphone jack.The tire held up for the afternoon ride, if the patch does not work long term, I'll update this post. Overall I was happy it is light weight and easy to use.

Pros:- Small- Over 100 PSI- 6 Pre-Glued Patches- Comes with 3 Stackable Tire LeversCons:- Tire Levers don't hold up well against Roadbike TiresThoughts:You're going to have a hard time with roadbike tires using the plastic tire levers. They are a good width and are stiff but not sharp. Don't use the hook end and take it slow. The patches are great. They are pretreated so you don't have to mix anything. Just clean, abraid, and then apply. They hold up against 100+ PSI. The patches are small and so is the case. A small patch of sandpaper is included. The case is about the size of 2 Mini SD cards stacked on top of each other. The patches can be purchased separately without the tire levers as well. I'm riding on a Scott Speedster S60 with Michelin Airstop Butyl tubes and Continental Gators tires and they have withstood 250+ miles.Bottom Line:Highly Recommended!

I patched my first tire with this kit and some youtube videos. It had everything i needed! The patches work great for small punctures *when used correctly*. You have to press down hard to seal the patch, and wait for it to set before you blow up the tire or the glue will slip as the tire expands.This patch didn't work on another tire I tried to patch that had a puncture next to a raised seam on the tube, I guess the glue on the patch wasn't sufficient for getting into the crevice so air leaked through. Adding more patches on top if the first one didn't seal WON'T WORK because like before, the glue on the patch is only really good for sealing completely smooth surfaces. Because of this you might want to consider getting a patch that comes with the glue in a bottle. But I've already saves a few tires with this kit, and I will continue using the tire levers no matter what patch I'm using! Overall, this kit worked perfectly for its intended purpose.

This kit was exactly what I expect out of a Park Tool product. The tire levers are well thought out, strong and snap together for convenience. I leave the tire levers and patch kit in my bike bag at all times. With these tools, it is possible for me to patch a hole and get home without even removing the wheel from the bike. These glueless patches by Park Tool are amazing. They are so small, yet are so good at holding air. You could even repair 2 holes with 1 patch if desperate enough.I don't leave home without them. Can't recommend this kit enough.

I upgraded my bike to one with road tires, and was planning on going on my first longer ride, when I realized I should probably prepare myself in case I get a flat. Good thing I did! I literally had to use the levers & repair kit 2 days after I got it! The set comes with 3 levers, but you really only need two to get the tire popped off. I'd save the third in case one of the two ever breaks, but plan on carrying only 2 with me. The kit worked great - this was my first time doing it, I was by myself, and I'd never seen anyone else do it in person, but had watched a few youtube videos to prepare myself. Not too difficult, and got the job done, so what more can I ask for?

This is a great kit to throw in your seat bag and take along when you ride. Combine this with a Genuine Innovations Tire Inflater and you can fix your flat in the field. The tire irons are solidly made and do a decent job of breaking the bead and getting your tire off the rim. The included patch kit is great for use in the field but I still prefer the vulcanizing type of patch for shop repairs.

Everything seems to be as expected, and they do the trick. The tire tools are probably just as good as the next one. For those that don't know (it wasn't totally obvious to me), you use the wide end to pry out the tire, and then you can use the hook to hook onto the spoke, to hold it in place. I use one hooked in place to get the tire started, then another to go all around.The pre-glued patches look very convenient, if they work. I haven't tried them yet, but glue drying out is a problem for me with other kits.

Product arrived in time and the tire levers work well.BUT, the two levers are NOT AS PICTURED. The levers with the kit all have the hook that connects to the wheel spokes. The picture describes a lever with a hook for spokes, and another lever with a clip for spokes. This is not what arrives in the package. Still, the product works as needed.Shipping was fast. Still happy overall. I would recommend the levers. They work and they could not be cheaper.
