That’s just one person’s experience, and yours may differ.

I agree that Rema patches are best, and they really don’t cost much more than the no-names, so stock up on them. Buying them in bulk is extremely cheap.
You can get it from Amazon or any number of other places. Your local bike shop can order it from QBP. Probably costs around $25. You can order tubes of cement from QBP as well.
