Self adhesive tube patches
#1
Ciao.
How safe are those bike tube pathes that are self adhesive vs patches that have glue applied? Has anyone used them? Are there any comments from practice? Example: LeakFix.

If they are fresh, not to bad but I prefer the feather edge glue type or just carry an extra tube is even better. time wise, replacing the tube is fastest, stick on patch next fastest, glue patch takes the longest.

Park Tool has good self adhesive patches and I often take them with during road rides next to a single spare tube -> yeah I can fit both of them and then it all depends on my mood or the severinity of puncture namely whether I patch the holes or just use spare one.
