Touch wood not yet had a problem with my TPU tubes on my summer bike, running 25mm Challenge Strada tyres. I have a spare tube in the saddlebag but would like the backup of a repair when I get home if (or when) I get an unwelcome visit. Anyone got a recommendation?

Not got a patching recommendation - but wondering how your TPU tubes are faring?

TPUs on a Brompton with Schwalbe Ones are brilliant on tarmac, but on tracks, always use butyl for those, with same tyres or Kojaks. Always mend tubes at home but patches for TPU I understand use polystyrene cement, like you used to stick your Airfix model planes together with. :giggle:
