A flat tire doesn't have to spell the end of your ride. The Park Tool VP-1 comes with everything needed to repair a punctured inner tube and get it ready for reinstallation and inflation. Together with the included vulcanizing fluid, the butyl patches create a molecular bond with the inner tube for a durable, permanent repair on any puncture. The application is simple: spread a thin layer of vulcanizing fluid over the area, let it dry, remove the patch backing, apply firm pressure (especially at the edges), and inspect the bond after a minute or two. Compatible with nearly all bicycle inner tubes, and small enough to tuck into a saddle bag or jersey pocket.
