I used these many times on my dirt bikes in the 70-80s .

I was trying to explain to my younger wife how we patched our tires in the 80s Thank god you posted this bro Well done I see a bullseye paddle there no doubt hooked to some 80s classic ??? I’ve got a nice OG GT pro And I’m a hard out marble collector !!! Cheers mate !!

Love the language😆👍👌

Todays patch is a joke, they don’t work.

LEAVE AN OPEN CAN OF SPIRITS right next to burning flame.

Just don't forget to sprinkle some baby powder on there before you put the tube back in the tire, otherwise som' bitch hard to pull out next time.

Ok boomer Jk i think its lame that kids dont do anything. But maybe its because our parents bought us videogames instead of dirtbikes.

cool

Who still sells them?

Thank God for this video. I found one of these in a horse barn on my property a back and I was completely stumped, partly being because it's unbranded and looks as if it is meant to attach on the end of a pipe? But mostly because I'm 24 and didn't know such existed until now. Either way, my bike days are over as far as I'm concerned but what a neat contraption, would've loved to have had this knowledge over a decade ago!

Is there anywhere we can still buy these patches. I use to use them as well and like to try to get more again

the best patch ever can not find any.

Good to see someone still knows how to really patch a tire. Where can I get a supply of that kind of patch? I search with the word "vulcanize" and while they throw that word around a lot, everything I find is for a cold patch that only works if you get lucky.

Do kids even ride bikes anymore?

Your profanity adds nothing worthwhile to your video. Lost subscription.

Don't mind the bottle of flammable mineral spirits right next to the flame lmao

I am now 53 and still remember doing this in the early 80s, everyone thinks I'm crazy when I tell them we burnt out patches on.

I used these in 1966 and wondered if they still exist? I had two kids who lived behind me and their bikes had flats and the dad had no clue. The tubes were bad and I replaced the tubes and it took me three months to get the $20 back.

Not all of us kids are that lame. I'm a millennial and I was patching tubes when I was a kid. And I've got a motorcycle tube outside with a patch curing as we speak.

Nice

where can I get some of those patches I ran out of them

Hell yes… this was my childhood. I am glad you posted this

These were great... as long as kept dry they would last for until you needed one again... The problem I have with the new cold patches is tge glue.. Use it once, then next time the glue has gone rubbery...

Like the comments. Trouble with kids these days is how can you use an ipad to fix a flat. Where do you get the patches. I googled them and all I got was your video.

This video brings me back to hanging out with my dad in the garage. We had this same kit and had to do this so many, many times. Great memories!!

Where do you buy Vulcanizing patches?

Man who thr heack is recording??? Looks like a 5 yeard old ? Can't stand still for the shoot!👎

You sound like an alcoholic lol

what kind of patch is that? i suppose it wont work with just a piece of inner tube?

I like this guys attitude. I may have to see if he's got more videos

قديمه جدا 😃

Samd here brother....my dad taught me how to use them back in the late 80s....dont remember when the last time I use it..but good old memories...wish they still had them.

I used to use these kind of patches when I was a kid to fix my bicycle. Dont see them around anymore.

Dude, that is down Memory Lane! I recall lighting the glue. Monkey Grip? But whoa, bro! You lit that shit with a jug of FLAMMABLE liquid sitting open. We almost saw Vulcanized Bro instead of a tire.

glad the mineral spirits aren't flammable LOL

I remember using those when i was seven years old, the new patches suck, wish they bring them back!

Be buggered if a spark jumped into that can without the lid

I had Camel version of it, love it.

I hate the way you speak, it doesn't make you a man

thats pretty wild never seen one modified that heavily

hahaha, 3 seconds into the video you earned a thumbs up. "kids these days are fucking lame" hahaha

Yes! I was right there with you with those, my dad still had the clamp in his shop, well at least until I go home to visit lol. The lame kids all grew up to whine about an open can of mineral spirits, just saying.

I like how you leave an open can of mineral spirits a foot away from a 70 year old flaming vulcanizer. And kids these days are dumb asses. It would have been perfect if the can burst into flames.

Nothing like Leaving an open gallon of LACQUER THINNER right next to a burning Vulcanizing patch.

I can definitely relate to that smell childhood memories how can you get those

I just remember these today! Came here to see if there was anyone else that did too! Awesome!

What did you use that was flammable on the patch. I used the rubber cement,but I didn't see you put any on.

Those were the best! The crappy glue on patches sold in the US come from China while the Chinese use these to patch inner tubes and raff at us.

The reason the vulcanizing patches were taken off the market is that they were exploding and people were getting their eyes taken out. Or so my friend's dad tells me. ;) The reason no one knows how to fix a puncture nowadays is because you can't. The modern patch kits are designed only as a temporary solution and for only the smallest of punctures, so they are not suitable for about 95% of punctures. There are complicated modern solutions for punctures like tubeless tires...

I had a front wheel flat on my BSA 650 in the middle of nowhere, coming back from Iran to Europe in 1962, and a truck driver stopped to help. He rummaged in the truck's toolbox, and came back with a hot patch, but no clamp. He put the tube on a flat rock, placed a patch over the puncture, lit it, and stuck his boot firmly on top of it. Thick smoke spurted out from under his boot, while he grinned at me in a "This is how it's done" sort of way. Suddenly the smoke turned to flames, he gave a loud scream, pulled off the now flaming boot, hurled it away into the sand, and jumped up and down holding his foot while trying to pull off a partly melted sock. I didn't dare laugh. Eventually, he gathered up his sock and boot, turned abruptly, walked back to his truck, got in and drove off without saying a single word. Luckily, eventually someone came along with patches and glue and helped me fix it.
