patch kit

Tire fix set

A patch kit is a collection of materials for repairing punctures or tears, most commonly in bicycle inner tubes or inflatable items.

A typical kit includes rubber patches, adhesive, and a roughening tool: I always carry a patch kit on long rides.

The term extends to any small repair set for field fixes.
