Aren’t those Super Patch things great!

OK, bit boring, but I had to share my joy!

How long have these been around then? – Pre-Glued Super Patch

The last stick on patches I tried were something that was given away with MBUK about, oh, 1994(?), stupid foam type things that were rubbish. So there I am in my LBS wanting some patches and glue to sort out a load of punctured tubes I had in a box, ‘try these’, he said, I laughed ‘yeah right’ … well I did and they work!!

So, now you’re gonna tell me they don’t last, come un-glued or eventually leak, yeah?

Or tell me I should go tubeless anyway!?

When I was in the US in the summer in a sports shop I saw some Slime pre-glued patches for about a quid or something, thought I’d give them a try, and seem great so far.

I could never get the hang of patching tho tbh – I think I’m too impatient with the glue drying – once spent about an hour trying to patch and innertube and eventually gave up and walked it home. Now I carry a spare inner 🙄
