Review on 🚲 Revive Your Bicycle with the Bell STOPPER Patch Kit: An Essential Repair Solution by John Ruelas

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Definitely NOT for big flat tires

I just got a new clone Schwinn Volare and got a flat on day one due to misaligned rim tape (sharp spoke notch). I wanted to ride the bike to finish my derailleur setup and used this patch set. I followed the instructions EXACTLY. The patch failed when I inflated the tube to 60psi (the bike has Kenda 700 x 28 tires with a max pressure of 85psi). It should be noted that the puncture was quite strong. It was torn, with two small tears. "About 1/16" each. Also, it was near the junction of two ribs that occur during production. But nonetheless, the spot was sanded well and the patch itself seemed to adhere well. This set of patches might suffice for a small well defined hole on the smooth part of the tube but other than that it's a dice roll.You really don't get to choose which plane you get so I don't recommend carrying this kit.By the way the key is no longer included( it's not listed The tire levers are GREAT and they fit together so I'm leaving them in. I have a seat bag, an extra tube and I ordered a patch kit that uses glue.

Pros
  • One Year Trial
Cons
  • Empty
