And if you patch you have to use the good German patch kits. Those things are all we ever use.

And it is rather wasteful to throw out a tube with just a leeetly pinhole in it. I am sure we aren't going to have cheap rubber forever. And why not save the couple of bucks? It all adds up in the long run. There aint no such thing as a free (or really cheap) lunch.
