Not saying that you don't repair tubes but this alone is a good reason to repair flats. How are your going to find that offending piece of glass if you just replace the tube? We recently got a donation of about a dozen tubes from one person at my local co-op. All of them had a puncture in the same spot...on the inside of the tube
If the guy had
repaired the tube, he might have found the problem before blowing roughly $70.
