Best TPU tube brand

[CycOps]

Does anyone has experience with PINMOAP tpu tubes? Great price - how about quality?

Never used this brand, it seems like a copy of thinkrider (I think there are a couple of factories that produce for everyone) I continue to use my faithful CYCLAMI https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010335878916.html

no luck with original ridenows white valve on gravel but ok on road.
find if you hav them installed on a tyre and go to change same tyre ,slightly inflate as normal but can rarely if ever get them to behave on install as tey would originally.
could start my own tpu factory here! - so many punctured hanging on wall!

Can anyone share on how to repair a punctured tpu
I have two ridenow patch kits with hobson rubber cement ??

thinkrider out of the pack wont hold air  - absolute shite.

off bondage  purple black threaded long vale with valve wheel holder.Bought three
2 punctured/lost air very easily on install - i did take extra care but no difference wouldn't hold air - factory defect .
were 4.89 each now 8 e each - junk.

i need a viable alternative.
cyclami seem to be good.
Gustavo ?

I use gustavo on gravel. Quality is fine, have had no issues with them. I usually pay around $10 for 2. Have stocked up and should be good for quite a while. Have only had 2 punctures, they were both on the same day from the same piece of glass that embedded itself in the tire.

Bought 1 cyclami and it came with a faulty valve connection and wouldnt hold any air. Others may have had better luck than i have.

So far, I've only tried patching RideNow TPU tubes. If the TPU tube is really old or has a dodgy valve, I wouldn't bother trying to patch it.

But what worked for me: Cut out a small patch from an old tube and glue it on with 'CAMPLAST - Cement' glue (pretty cheap and strong stuff) and put a heavy book on top of it. After letting it dry for a bit, I put some more glue around the edges of the patch. Don't know if this is the best method, but it doesn't take a lot of work, and I haven't had a problem with those tubes so far.

ok so gave this a go from YT video option 1

New black metal valve purple offbondage TPUs and disappointed when got two slow air releases out of the box post install.
i think rim tape is key for any succesfull TPU install tbh especially on hooked rims with spoke holes.

so used ride now patch kit on the OB TPU and plenty of glue went on ,then apply the RN TPU patch and 24hours later with some weight on it,seems to have done he trick so far.
pumped up 10psi approx and leave hang in shed for a further 24hrs to be sure to be sure.
