The problem with these cheap TPU tubes is a lot of them have leaks new/out of the box. They can't take much pressure when inflated out of the tire so leaks are really hard to find unless they're large leaks. Patching is also a problem. So where are you going to be if you have a flat and use one of these tubes that already has a leak?
