I know, nobody has time to patch tubes. But I'll bet that had the OP been patching his, he wouldn't have enev needed t come on the forum to ask what's going on.
This is what I have long done but I’m about to quit. Going forward I will patch and figure the problem and then throw the tube away when I get home. The few recent “flats” I’ve had in the last few years have more often been old patches that worked for a year or so and then decided to start leaking in the middle of a ride. I’d rather not have to deal with that. Plus, you can’t really fix a patch that starts to leak.
