I figure the patch will help slow down debris from infiltrating the tiny cuts. Seems to work. I managed to keep another tire going for a few months even after it had been sliced up by broken slate. I finally had to scrap the tire when one cut finally wore through the inner shield and began to avulse.

Just the other day I was wondering if there were specific tube patches for skinny road tubes
I was slicing my regular patches to size to make them fit

how do they hold up on high PSI?


BTW, on one of the tubes, it had a very thin green patch which needed to be re-patched i wonder if it's the same product you're referring to
