Unless you are proficient at using a patch kit, don't try to patch the tube. It will only leak. Practice at home on this a bit. Personally, I am so bad that I never patch tubes - they always leak. I just put in a new tube, which I buy en mass at
www.nashbar.com on sale.
I've had 5 flats so far this season - since May.
Patches aren't that hard. The key with patches is to get one of the old fashioned patch kits with the glue, and to take your time, the glueless patches are not worth buying. I always carry a spare tube, so on the road I just swap tubes, then I collect them up, and do a bunch at once. I have 3 to do now
Correction, had 3 to do, actually had 4, but one had 2 patches on it already, I patch up to 2 times, then toss it.
