Was anyone looking for bulk tube patches?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I just bought a box of these 20mm ones, they look reasonable:

They come with a decent-sized tube of rubber cement.

I also bought a pair of red "bullet" valve caps and a squeeze-bulb air
horn, for the wife's bike, honest! ;-)

Huh, "This store does not exist".

Last time I got a good deal on substantial patches, I stopped getting flats
until the glue dried out in the tube and the patches started going flaky.
Then I got a flurry of flats. But whilst these things were sitting on the
shelf I think I got one flat in four years, so they were indeed a good
investment, even though I didn't get to use them.

Bugger! Try this link, then look under "Puncture Repair Gear".

$14.60 for 100 patches, or $0.15 per patch. For myself it's more
about avoiding the mountains of little plastic boxes that pile up when
I buy the $2.50 8-patch kits from K-mart. ;-)

About 18 months ago, my little local Star supermarket 36 patches for
~$3.50c. Unfortunately not a regular item.
