so i am waiting for the glue to dry on a patch, no big deal..

but as im pulled out the tube i realized that over the course of time ive patched this thing about 9 times.

anyone else ride a hella patched tube besides myself?

i suppose i should invest in $10 tubes rather than 10 $5 patch kits.:YEAH

 

i patch em till the valve stem breaks off or they rot and crack... you get like 5-6 patches for 2 bucks at teh hardware store...6 dollars for a tube ... if i'm in a hurry sometimes i buy new ones, but i'll eventually patch teh old ones andkeep them as spares... i maybe have one tube with no patches out of 6 tire/tube combos i have

 

ive never patched a tube in my life. when i pop a tube i just fill it with tire slime and it never leaks again. i go through tires faster than tubes cause i do a lot of rolling burnouts.

 

still haven't tried the slime yet.... not sure it's friendly with my aluminum wheels... i know your normal fix-a-flat will corrode the hell out of aluminum wheels.

guess i could always put some slime on some scrap aluminum in the garage and see what happens over time

 

well ive been using slime for close to a year now. my stock wheels are still fine. no corrosion on the inside. on a little slime leaked out of the holes over time. it wasnt a mees to change or anything. but hey i lov e not patchin tubes so ill keep using my method
