Taking the risk to go on without replacement hose on tour, because you want to be on the road easily, these patches are top quality and without error in its simplest handling. Back home I think now you should change the tube then better, since the adhesive patches do not last as long as the traditional patch with adhesive. It may be that there even have been traveling the dirty hands and the hole area was so badly contaminated, so with me twice remained a creeping plates. Nevertheless, for the fast service at the Tour patches are great and always recommended.
