What adhesives can I use with a road bike inner tube patch?

Gorilla Glue claims it can adhere anything to anything. Give it a shot. Its at WalMart.

I use it for just about anything.

That is pretty good stuff. I’m hoping to find someone who has actual experience using something so I don’t get a leak when I pump it up. Road tires are inflated to about 110psi. If no one has an answer, I’ll probably have to experiment with things like that. I’ve got like 6 tubes to patch.

Have you considered calling a local bike shop and asking if they sell the glue or have some you can have? It’s worth a phone call.

Oh yeah, done that at three places. They only sell the kit. There’s never enough glue in those kits for all the patches you get. I’m trying to beat the man.

Don’t take a chance with gorilla glue or monkeying around with other substitutes.

You can buy a tube of tube patch kit glue from Amazon for 99¢. It is called “Pax Rubber Cement Patch Kit Glue Tube Tire TL983MXX”

Do you think just good ol’ rubber cement would work? That was my instinct. Otherwise I’ll get the Pax, thanks.

Rubber cement works fine. The tire repair glue is simply a tiny tube of rubber cement. I have ridden hundreds of miles on patches made from old inner tube snippets and rubber cement.

Use a small amount and let it dry before applying the patch.

How much does a emergency patch kit cost these days anyway? Get a bottle of slime and be done with-it.
