You did good.
Better than me.
I had a slow leak on the front tire Saturday during a 100 mile, 7.5 hour ride (3 hours in the rain).
It held during the entire ride.
Decide to fix it last night. Ended up with a New tire, The New Tire was so tight I had to use metal levers.
3 patches in a New tube, Three patches in the old tube.
( self Inflicted by Me ) remounted the tire 6 times.
Guess 2 glasses of wine would have helped?
