Are the glueless puncture patches any good, and if so are Halfords ones OK. Come to that has anyone tried the Wilkinson ones?

I don't know about the others but I've been using Red Devils for the past year without any problems.

They are, but one nb - when they say to roughen the area 'lightly' before application, take it seriously. A heavy hand with the sandpaper and everything goes tits-up.

Have used the Lezyne ones a few times between me and Mrs F, they're jolly good. Easy to use and no problems with them coming unstuck later.

I have used Halfords glueless patches for the past couple of years without any problems at all.
Like a previous member has said , roughen the tube well and they are absolutely fine

I think they're good as a get you home but after time I have found them to start leaking so I am back on to old school glue and patch kits now. But as a back up in the saddle pouch along with a couple of spare inner tubes they are ideal so I still carry them.

I've used Park tools patches, no problems!

Me too - no problems either

I've used Park patches and they seem ok - I have had a Park patch where it leaked after a while, but I'm pretty sure that could be explained by over-enthusiastic use of some sandpaper.

Thanks all, seems Park gets the vote. I'll get some.
