You can ride 1,000 uneventful miles only for the puncture fairy to strike with a vengeance.
Nobody knows why flats, like buses, turn up in twos and threes, but the anecdotal evidence speaks for itself. However unwelcome an interruption your next puncture will be, you can ensure your roadside pit-stop rums smoothly by carrying the correct tools.
This top-of-the-line repair kit from Park Tool Ride, which comes in its very own tight tool roll with a cinch strap, is just the ticket. Best of all, we have one to give away.
The puncture repair kit includes:
- Pocket Protector Micro Pump
- Multi tool
- Pre-glued Patch Kit
- Tyre Lever Set
- Emergency Tyre Boot
- High pressure pressure gauge
- Schrader / Presta adaptor
Win a Park Tool puncture repair kit
At £55, the Park Tool BTR-1 puncture repair kit shares the high price as well as the build quality of a Rolls Royce, but good quality tools should last more than a lifetime. We have one to give away for you to test. Please leave a comment at the bottom of the page and we will pick a lucky winner next week.
Cycle insurance with free breakdown (including puncture cover)
Cycle insurance from the ETA includes free Cycle Rescue. If you suffer a breakdown, or puncture, while out on your bike, we will recover you and your bike up to 25 miles. We won’t be able to fix your bike, but we will get you recovered.
It’s just one of the things that sets us apart. On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. Check your small print for so-called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use the term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it.
With ETA cycle insurance, however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model. Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future. No wonder The Good Shopping Guide has voted us Britain’s most ethical insurance company.

Vin
Something light but robust enough to get me back on the road would be great – this looks just the job!

Jane C
This might help me win the great battle of the picture repair!
PeteG
It would be tempting fate to say I would really like this kit, but to have it would be the ideal defence !
John
It’s a kit you do not want to use but when you have too is great
Philip
It would be great if I again cycle to Sinapore
Philip
Spelling correction: that should be “Singapore”.
Why does my comment need ‘moderating’; I cycled from Nottingham to Singapore in 1992 A superior repair kit would be top of my list if ever I were to repeat that trip.
Denise Stow-Williamson
I’m taking cycle maintenance classes. The kit will be great.
Steve K
Really useful!
JON TOPE
Park tools are the cream of the crop in my opinion. Have many tools from them already and I rate them as our snap-on for cyclist.
Let me be the envy of the trail by winning this shiny shiny puncture kit.
Cleatclicker
no doubt the rolls Royce of tool rolls
Peter Chisnall
Excellent
Roger Birchall
Looks Awesome!!!, nice little kit!!!
antvren
Being Park Tools I’d expect them to be reliable, however I’d take my old tyre levers – I’ve mastered using the three of them, with hooks to catch onto the spokes.
Mark D
I need this
Inge
Good stuff!
Colin Hyne
After Losing Thirteen Stones in weight, I have started riding to and from work. This would certainly come in useful!
TheCyclist
Always great to have a puncture repair kit. Thank you; I’d also like to win one.
Alastair Seagroatt
Looks just the job for our dodgy roads.
Barrow Boyd
Hopefully riding a trike does not increase the chance of a puncture by 50%, but if it does I’d be 100% prepared with the Parkes kit.
Greg
Keep me rolling with this tool role….
Mark B
I have a long commute so this would be really useful
Ands R
….never, ever talk about punctures – you know why!
David
Every city rider should have one!
Jennie Whitford
Just what I need, to avoid having to get the bus !
Bryn Jones
Brilliant, just brilliant!
Keith Graham
It would make a bad day better!
Nick
Please and thank you
Christopher
Essential for all but the very shortest of trips.
Cheryl Buxton-Sait
Just getting to grips with cycle maintenance. This would be a great help.
Ema
Great addition to my bike kits
James
Looks great tool set
Thomas Lankester
>>Nobody knows why flats, like buses, turn up in twos and threes
Sure they do!
a) the local authority has trimmed a hawthorn hedge and not cleaned up properly (my brother got 7 puncture off this one);
b) one did not get all of an offending item out of the outer tube the first time.
Stephen Perry
Oh yes please, even running Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres you never can be sure of being puncture free
Helen Taylor-Carter
Never to be short of a tool at the side of the road again
John Morgan
Looks nice!
Stuart
This looks a great bit of kit that can make those frustrating times in the middle of nowhere go a little bit easier.
Richard Scrase
I’d give this to my son on condition he learnt to fix his own puncture – yes, it’s the weekend and time to fix the families bikes
Karl Wallendszus
This looks great. Quite apart from the quality of the tools, I like the roll to keep them in.
Tony Pratschke
Hello,
Last Saturday I took a long spin on my Mobility Scooter (nearly 5 hours averaging 10 km per hour. One part of the journey was a scenic path through woodland (advertised as suitable for pedestrians and wheelchair users) between Tinahely (Co. Wicklow) and Greenhall. Unfortunately it appears that no wheelchair user had used it before me! It was a bumpy ride!! Fortunately I didn’t notice the (slow) puncture on my right rear wheel until I arrived at the trail end. I felt devastated. A kind Samaritan nipped off in his car and returned with a puncture repair canister that sealed the leak until I got home. Whether I win this kit or not, I shall definitely buy it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Chris
Great kit and small enough to keep in my bag.
Oliver Hewitt
Would love this!
Gavin
Very useful… better looking than my rubber-banded 4 x allen keys and separate chain breaker.
Ian Stewart
Park Tool – what more is there to say. The name alone no matter what they produce, spells quality.
Jack diamond
Seems like a load of hot air to me.
Chris Johnson
I’d be somewhat deflated if, again, I don’t win :o(
Eleanor Clegg
Yes could do with that in rural Pembrokeshire when they’re cutting back those miles of blackthorn and hawthorn hedges on the roadside.
matthew
glad this came up, after the other day I have run out of patches etc.
good kits are hard to come by.
Peter Brown
Like to put my name into the hat, too.
matt p
an excellent little kit!
Paul
Looks like a great kit
David
Looks like a great set. I had 2 punctures the first 2 days of using my bike this year. None since, so I’m probably due one!
tim pheby
We use park tools at Sustrans , great quality so it would be great to have this puncture repair kit
