Even bike puncture repair kits are kind of bullshit. They're basically getting carried entirely by a small packet of vulcanizing fluid as per price per parts. You can buy sheets of 100 of the patches for the price of one kit and the 3cm² of sandpaper you need also costs fuck all.
i bow to your superior widom, Mr bicycles
(geuninely, i will now look for good vulcanising fluid and patches, thank youuuuu)
the real life hack is becoming known as the bicycle crank amongst your peers so everybody just gifts you their spare matchbox tube repair kits since they have no use for them. I genuinely have not bought any of them or the components in 10+ years
