replace spare tube: 5 min repair puncture and replace: 7 or 8 min
I wait till the glue has lost its shininess, takes about 60 seconds, with some blowing. No time at
all. The fix is permanent.
Patches at 20c each versus dropping $8 every 3 or 4 weeks (racing tyres). If I can't find the hole
right away, I'd use the spare and fix it at home.
