I used to swear by Park ones, but they do not like the heat or large inner tube 32mm and above from experience. Also, if you tube is too small for the tyre it won't hold for long.
I found the topeak one slightly better lately.
Use proper vulcanising patches to repair the tube once you get home.
Repairing tubes is a great way to be more sustainable as well!

Are there any self-adhesive patches that actually work? I tend to just replace tubes instead of mend them, but I had three flats in rapid succession as I kept finding new pieces of glass in my tyre so I gave the Cordo (Dutch brand) self-adhesive patches I keep in my kit bag as a backup to my backup tube a go, and they lasted somewhere between 10 seconds and 10 minutes. Are the Park Tool patches good? Or the Schwalbe ones? Or should I just go back to bulkier glue-on patches as a backup to my backup?
