…cutting puncture repair patches for my various kits.

I had a pinch flat on my fat bike today and repaired the tube in the sun on the beach 🙂

I just don’t get how folk can bin a punctured tube then chuck in landfill 🙁

Fat bike? WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER NEW STANDARD, FFS!

😉

Oh dear I’ve hit a nerve 😛

Thanks for the reminder, totally forgot that I flatted last ride and have a tube to fix!

Not at all, Al, just joining in the fun! 🙂

FWIW, my routine (On bikes with tubes) is as follows;

First puncture – Replace tube, keep tube in bag.
Second puncture – Park patch on replaced tube (Which is often a repaired tube anyway)
Third (God forbid!) puncture – Park patch again.

Then, repair tubes when I get home.

I gave my one spare fat bike tube to a fat-friend. He hasn’t reciprocated yet so I’m riding commando.

Are you using squares of old tube for patches? Thats a damn fine idea if it works, will have to try that!

What are these “tubes” of which you speak?
