Just a quick question if i may..
Whats the concensus on patching tubes?
Is it worth the bother or do you just replace it?
My new bike uses tubed tyres and im thinking of getting a patch kit 'just in case' and wondering if im better off just carrying tubes.
Thanks  |

Nothing wrong with a patch if stuck on properly.
Area clean
Abraded
Glued
Patch stuck on
Sorted.
You can use a tyre sealant in tubes too if you fancy. Then you won't 'need no steenkeing patches'.

Pretty much the same process as a bicycle tube really, but I always tend to replace them anyway as they aren't that expensive.
