Would you use a repaired tube?

[gbb]

It'd be in conceivable for me to throw away a perfectly good tube just because it had been punctured.
Touch wood, I don't get many nowadays but only usually give up when you get a puncture on or close to an existing patch. And even then, I've been known to peel off the old one and fit a new, bigger one.
Swollen stretched old tubes are usually the reason I'd throw one away.

Best bet is to repair one, leave it a couple of days then try and remove the patch.

You won't have any questions about it moving about after that!.

 

[Dogtrousers]

As above. YES. The only time I'd throw a tube away would be if it had a big tear.

 

[Heltor Chasca]

I thought repair patches were little award badges. It's a badge of honour to run a really spotty tube. Tut. Throw away society and all that. Memories of good times.

I'm strongly attached to my repaired inner tubes. Must be using the adhesive wrong.

I'm currently using two tubes that had been discarded by the roadside and repaired by me.

Unfortunately they are two cheap heavy ones - bleeding cheapskates

 

[Lonestar]

Generally no...I find them useful for other things...Both my fixies have handlebar tape which were old inner tubes.

I don't generally throw them away and would patch them if I had to.

I thought it was April 1st when I read the OP
Most of my commuter tubes have at least 2 or 3 patches on, all the Halfords own brand self adhesive ones. @mickle has a big enough ball already, without it being added to for a single puncture.

 

[Crackle]

Yes. Why would you not.

 

[Banjo]

Amother vote for Halfords self adhesive patches.I usually swap for a new tube at the roadside then fix with patch at home.

If you want to become an expert at puncture repairs get some Lithion 2 tyres.

 

[John the Monkey]

Yup. I patch until I can't fit more patches on (or the valve goes).

 

[Lonestar]

Yes. Why would you not.

Err maybe I haven't been too confident (or successful)with my p*nct*re repair in the past.
Sods law innit?

 

[alicat]

Yes, I don't throw good things away.

 

[Mrs M]

Not had a p******e since I was at school (a very long time ago)
Used to be frequent on my old "racer" and I always just repaired and reused the tube, never bought a new one (never had any pennies)

? No worse than any other tyre. Haven't had a problem with them.

I certainly would, I have two holding the number plate on my garden trailer.
