I was referring to this
except when you’re on the road with debris, glass, wire, etc stuck in the tire that’s easiest/quickest time to identify/patch the hole.
I just don’t see your point
in the above quote.
I don’t see your point about not carrying patched tubes either. Your whole “I can feel the patch” is a level of sensitivity that is beyond most peoples’ abilities to detect.
BTW, i did a quick search for you. walmart, amazon, chainreactioncycles, and merlincycles all carry tubes less than $3. Walmart has a 700c tube for $1.96 with free shipping. myth that? ;-)
Well, HelMart doesn’t sell them for less than $3
with free shipping. They are currently on sale for about $2 but you have to buy two and pay $6 in shipping. That not “$2 each”. Shipping needs to be included which makes for $4 tube. Amazon doesn’t list a less than $7 for a 700C presta tube with free shipping. Chain Reaction sells a $3 tube with $16 shipping. That’s a $19 tube. Merlin Cycles sells a $3.50 tube but charges $28 for shipping. That’s a $31 tube.
