A good bike tire patch has rounded corners, is pretty thin overall, and gets thinner towards the edges, so that it stretches with the tube and stress points are eliminated. They also come with a foil cover on the glue side and a thin plastic cover on the "outside". The plastic cover greatly simplifies installation. And of course you need decent glue, on the patch and in a tube. I've seen crummy patches that are basically just a square chunk of rubber and I won't use them. | |
