Glueless patches trade some durability for speed: roughen the tube, wipe it clean, press the patch on and reinflate. The Park Tool GP-2C holds six self-adhesive patches, developed with 3M, and a square of sandpaper in a box of 32 mm square that weighs 5 g. The patches work on butyl and TPU tubes. Park Tool calls the repair temporary and advises replacing the tube soon.
Suits users who need to get moving again quickly after a flat and have limited dexterity for handling glue. Keep it in a pocket with levers and a mini pump, and fit a new tube once you are home.
