    Lezyne are worth it imo. Some of them have been on for years I forget they’re there until I change the tyre

    I’ve used them for years! Never had a problem for as long as I can remember. In fact, I patched a snakebite with two park patches last week and they’re holding despite some step riding and rocks…..

    Lezyne seem best of a bad lot from my experience. Unless you prep it they have been get home only for me really.

    I used Lezyne for ages then changed to Park.
    Park are nicer IMHO and work well sealing tubeless tyres from the inside if they have a cut or small split.

    As above I’ve found park to be good, quick to apply and small enough to to keep in a wallet

    If you are a serial tube repairer/miser like me (record: 13 patches on one tube 8) ) then proper old fashioned vulcanised ones all the way. The pre-glued ones are great for a quicker fix on the trail but i find they don’t stay stuck on forever and have had slow-ish punctures that turned out to be the old glued patch.

    Used, Topeak and Park Tool glueless patches and recommend either of them.

    I carry Park ones with me out on the bike (and have used them a couple of times). However they aren’t feather-edged like ‘normal’ (decent quality) patches so not great on a road bike where you can sometimes feel the Park patch whilst riding.

    I’m finding this, especially on road tubes that have a higher pressure. I can see air bubbles appearing under some older patches and its only a matter of time before they work their way to the end.

    So I’ve gone back to the ‘old ways’, replace the punctured tube and repair the punctured one when I get home with rubber and a patch.

    BTW Ive use/used Park ones.

    Twaddle! I suppose you can ride over a crisp packet and tell what flavour they were too… 🙄

    Actually no it’s not twaddle it’s my actual experience you dimwitted muppet – I’m normally shit at telling the difference between minor changes on the bike but it’s like if you’ve got a bit of chewing gum stuck on the tyre, there’s a distinct vibration from it (at least there is if it’s directly on top of the tube and you’re running lightweight thin tyres like Schwalbe Ultremos.

    That’s because the glue they use doesn’t actually harden, so they’ll always be liable to move. Proper patches with a tube of glue are far preferable IMHO.

    You’d have to be riding on glass, with 180psi and hemorrhoids… Get well soon 😉
