I was in a shop today looking for something else and saw them on display and thought I'd grab a small pack, I've seen threads in the past telling me how wonderful they are and also threads saying they get you home until you can do a proper repair ... if that's so in my mind you'd be better off either doing it properly or carrying a spare inner and repairing it when you get home.

The pack I picked up were Scabs ... again I don't know if they're any good or if there are better available, the guy in the shop was as honest as the day is long (he was telling me I could buy alternate clothing elsewhere that would do the same job for 1/2 the price ... a genuinely nice guy but bet his employer would hate him ) and he said he used them for simplicity and said they were quite good.

Interested to hear what other people's opinions are on them??
