When I inflate the tube, it's sort of deformed. Since the area around the double patch isn't as stretchy, that part is sort of constricted, and narrower than the rest. Should I use the tube? Right now it's just hanging around as a spare, but I'm wondering if I should just chuck it.
Once it is inside a tire and inflated, that will not be an issue.
