Supplier for 20mm Vulcanizing patchs?

[Tom Nakashima]

Looking for a supplier for 20mm vulcanizing tube patches (patches only),
either Rema or Parks.
The LBS used to carry them, but only sells the larger patches now (25mm), or
the kit.

Tom,

Perhaps these?

Interesting, you state you're looking for "20mm" patches, not 25mm.
Yet, that links shows "1 inch" patches or 25mm.

If you want true 20mm patches, check out Biketooletc.:

Tom,
These are the same 25mm patches that your LBS carries, not the
20mm you asked for. This is however, the best price I've seen for the
25mm patches.

QBP used to list three different sizes of patches in 100-ct
boxes: the 16mm Rema F0P, this 25mm Rema F1P, and an intermediate 20mm
size made by Innovations. After trying to order the Innovations patches
twice, I was told that they're NLA from the manufacturer, and I settled
with getting the 16mm patches instead.

Any LBS should be able to order the 16mm patches from QBP for you.
I'm not aware of any source for 20mm patches.

Dear Tom and Mike,

Here are the 20 mm Rema patches:

(They also sell the 1-inch patches and 2-inch ovals, but not
the 16 mm patches.)

I believe this listing is in error, the item number being the
same F0P as the 16mm patches I linked to. I have a box of them and can
measure one when i get home, but my impression of their size is that
they're 16mm.

Dear Luns,

I think that you're right--www.rematiptop.com lists the
RE-F0P as 16 mm, not 20 mm:

http://www.rematiptop.com/Rema%20Site%20New/images/bike2.gif

At BiketoolsEtc, the 20 mm patches are listed as RE-FOP:

http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cgi?id=7008628400&d=single&c=Tire%20Tube&sc=Repair%20Kits%20and%20Supplies&tc=Patches&item_id=RE-F0P

The 1-inch patches are listed as RE-F1P:

http://www.biketoolsetc.com/index.cgi?id=7008628400&d=single&c=Tire%20Tube&sc=Repair%20Kits%20and%20Supplies&tc=Patches&item_id=RE-F1P

By weird coincidence, I ordered the alleged 20 mm patches
before I saw this thread (which is why it came to mind), so
I'll find out in a few days.

If they turn out to be only 16 mm patches, then I'll be
careful to run over slightly smaller goatheads.

Since BiketoolsEtc sells 'em for $14.75 and Mike's wants
$27.49 . . .

I measured one of these patches this morning - it would seem
they're neither 16mm nor 20mm. The black rubber centre is 14mm in
diameter, while the tapered orange layer has a diameter of 18mm.

My only guess now of what's going on is that the 16mm reflects
the diameter of the orange layer as a punching that is then squished
in manufacturing to taper the edges. Yet, patches I have from another
source (not Rema) measure at 25mm.

Curious.

Dear Tom,

Alas, Luns seems to be right, and the claim on the web page
is probably mistaken.

He's measured real Rema RE-FPO patches and found them to be
about 16-18 mm, depending on what you consider the edge.

The Rema site itself lists only two sizes, inch and 16 mm.

So let's call them big and small. Hope the small ones are
what you want.

Yes, the "smalls" are the ones I want, since I seem to "only" get tiny
punchers...knock on steel.
thanks again for the link,
