This pack of Six Schwalbe Glueless Patches are perfect for a quick fix-a-flat with no glue necessary.
Just roughen the area around the hole and stick the patch.
These patches also work with Schwalbe Aerothan TPU tubes. Instead of roughening the tube, just clean it, preferably with isopropyl alcohol.

I am a big fan of Schwalbe's Aerothan TPU tubes. They are compact, super light, and fast as hell. However, they are not puncture proof, nor are they inexpensive. Rather than throwing away a tube that costs more than $30, I'd rather repair and reuse it. This is the only patch kit that actually works with those tubes.
These patches couldn't be any easier to use. Simply find the puncture, clean the area with isopropyl alcohol, apply the glueless patch, and press it flat to remove air bubbles. Voila! The tube is good as new, and holds air perfectly. If you're running Aerothan TPU tubes, this patch kit is a must-have item. The patches also work on traditional butyl tubes, but I personally haven't tried using them on butyl. Simple, effective, and relatively inexpensive (especially compared to the price of a new TPU tube). What more can you ask for?
had to use one already, unfortunately, but it worked well. be nice if they included some alcohol wipes to clean before applying which is required, since it being a "kit" would imply it included everything needed to make a patch....
Good idea, I bought two, however, the idea is not very good on 700x25 inner tubes, the patch did not stick even when I followed the instructions. Don't buy if you have racing inner tubes or any sized 700x25 I'm going to stick with the good old fashioned glue and patch kit.
