dude obviously I'm closing them but honestly I don't want to chance it. I like to have a fresh glue bottle in the pack. For example I flatted out last week. The prior flat was in April. I'm pretty confident that the glue would have been shot. Anyway picking up a spare tube at the LBS is a great reason to hop over to the shop as well.

I live in an apartment in the city, and don't really have a place to patch up a tube when I get home. Wife doesn't like tubes and sweaty cyclists stinking up her kitchen with glue and rubber. And I don't like to patch on the road if I don't have to.
