ok, fair enough. i just wondered if the repaired tube isn't a bit risky for future use? like the patch is a weak spot, no?
if not, then fair play, fix them, save landfill.
I've never had any issues.. I know that's not conclusive proof but I do a lot of miles on tubes with 2 or 3 patches on them.
My old LBS guy used to say 3 patches and then bin but I'm not really sure about the most I've ever done on one tube.
The only thing I'd not bother with is when you get a split right at the base of the valve - they are fuckers and never seal properly. Bin it.
