'glueless patch' = sticker. IMO they are only intended to get you home, and are probably best suited to the 'life is too short to patch tubes' crowd that would rather buy a tube than patch a tube.

I ride Schwalbe Marathon Supremes, they are nice and pliable, and have reflective sidewalls (which are significantly more reflective than the reflective coating on my velocity dyad rims), but they are spendy. And not impervious to construction staples, I was taken down by a big fat staple once.

And currently I seem to have a slow leak in the front, I'm gonna have to investigate that.

Yeah. If they could eliminate the actual hard part, (taking the wheel off, taking the tire off, finding the hole, getting the tube back in, the tire back on, pumped up to pressure and the wheel mounted again) they'd be worth it. As it stands, they only slightly reduce the effort of the easiest part of the whole process...which is easy enough to work around by swapping tubes and patching the bad one later.

Now if somebody could make something like a micro-sized Fix-a-Flat by putting some fast-acting and/or thicker version of Slime in a CO2 inflator cartridge, that would really be worth paying for as long as it got most common tires to recommended pressure in one shot and was rock solid reliable for at least 10 miles.
