I buy patches bulk and a big container of vulcanizing cement, I use the tire levers and small tubes of glue from the Bell kits to carry on rides in saddle bags. It seems once opened those tubes of glue will dry out before being all of the glue, a sealed tube glues me piece on mind in case I have a bad ride and go through my extra tube(s) or have to aid a stranded rider.
