Do a GOOD job on the patch AND Don't pinch it on the way back in!

but if it's a front tube I'll find some other way.
I still remember having asphalt shaved from my arms with a straight razor
the last time I patched a front tube :woohoo:

you are correct. where i live there are no places to buy new tubes, i have to order everything thru dennis kirk or z1 enterprises...etc. so if i can possibly fix this damned thing with a high quality patch i will try it. i just want my bikes back on the road.....For as much fun as it is to remove tire/rim and disasemble/reassemble and reinstall on bike I would always install a new tube! Old mechanics saying..."No one has enough time to do it right the first time, but everyone has enough time to do it right the second time"! Think about it... just my 2 cents.
