The plan is to put another couple hundred miles on it to convince myself that it holds and then crank it up to 60 psi and see how it works there. I’m thinking about it more, and high pressure might help the nitrile glove seal. I bet it’s doing the heavy lifting not the tape, it’s a nice brand of gloves.
it will most likely fail eventually (maybe if the glove shifts), but it’s a good science experiment. It’s the back tire so no safety concern
As Spock might say: Illogical it is still broken as that makeshift patch is not a really a patch. Not taking tube out and fixing properly is asking for trouble.
