Review on πŸ”§ Slime SKABS 20040 - 1-Inch Pre-Glued Patches - Pack of 6 by Kantrel Tunstill

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I've been using SKABS for many years with no problems so far.

I've patched countless punctures with SKABS and never had a problem with leaks or poor adhesion until I patched the whole thing with one of these SKABS, filled the inner tube and let it dry. The next day it was almost flat and I couldn't find another hole in the tube. So I plugged the same hole with another one of those SKABS, but this time I put a heavy set of wrenches on top of the SKAB and let it sit overnight. The next day everything looked fine so I filled the tube with air and the next day it was flat again. Both times the edges of the patch rose. I don't know if that's due to their age or just the poor quality, but I can't trust them to work. I bought three repair kits for my three bikes, but now I'm throwing them all away.
