I normally ditch tubes if the valve dies, the hole is close to the valve (hard rubber where the patch won't stick well) and pinch flats (because larger patches often don't adhere as well and two little ones is a faff when you're on the roadside)
Yes I will ditch it. The rock ring (little gubin you screw onto the valve) was overtight. You can make your own joke here hippy 😆
I never used those or valve caps on tubes (they do nothing and just slow repairs down). Only my TL setups need those to hold the valve in.
No jokes here, Chop.
