Sorry meant to say no problems not new problems.
Quick update. I've done just under 2,000 miles on the new tubes. Had my first puncture with TPU tubes yesterday. Checked the tyre carefully and found a small spike sticking through, which would have taken any inner tube down. I was pleased that the TPU tube hadn't "failed".
I never patch inner tubes of any description so can't report on that aspect.

Well I only have 2,000 miles experience, but no failure so far from 2 tubes.
Which brand are you? I know RideNow upgraded their valves some time ago.

Ride now, Schwalbe the cheaper ones are better.

~ 600 km on Tubolito's (over serveral months) and no visitations. ( - yet)
I've stuck to tried and tested Butyl tubes for the new Winter bike though.
I can't be arsed with tubeless; scraping dried sealant off rims sounds tedious. If I was riding gravel or mountain biking, it would make more sense.

- Not to sure?
Depends on the type of sealant you decide to use to be fair. But I wouldn't go back to tubes now to be honest

Quick update - I've now done about 3,000 miles on my TPU tubes and still only the one puncture - which was due to a metal spike through the tyre. Very satisfied so far. ......... I know that is a dangerous thing to say
Hi Norry which brand are they again??
RideNow (pic above)

Mine were terrible a year ago. Maybe they’ve got better.
