+1. I only chuck tubes when there's more patch than tube visible. I've put patches on patches before...

+ 1... New tubes, R50- (R100 if you need 650mm tubes ) PATCHES, R10.

All these punctures... You guys need to stop riding your road bikes offroad!!

 

Replace when you are out on the road. Patch them when you get home and remember to put them back in the tubby bag!!

Old tubes make a cool tug toy for your dog.

 

Just cut out the valve.

 

:) - Yeah, my puppy has two or three in the garden, I attach one end to an immovable object and she pulls like crazy on the other end.

 

Cant we also say we are re-cycling as well.? Cant get greener than that. :)

Patched tube goes back on the rim and "new" tube goes back into the bag.
