The Einsteins stick better and are smaller than the less expensive 'generic' patches I've used. Typically (that's without goatheads) an Einstein patch kit lasts me about a year (~7k miles) using JB greens. In real goathead country (Eastern Washington - New Mexico) I've gone with slime tubes wi

Aha! Should get some of those, but 10 for $5 (plus the other stuff, I know) is rather high. Other sources? On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 9:49 PM, jimD wrote: > > On Sep 19, 2011, at 6:59 PM, PATRICK MOORE wrote: > > BTW: what is an Einstein patch? > > The Einstein patch comes in the Einstein Patch Kit

Badges of Honors, tube badges are. Argh. Beth Harmon has tubes richly decorated with them. The point is in the tire, not the tube, methinks. So seek thy Goatheads there, but thee knowst that, mate. However: imagine a more resilient tube and slime mixt in the proper tire. There be treasure! --aint

Contest. Two questions. Winner takes all. 1. How many punctures have you gotten in one ride of no more than 50 miles? 2. How many patches have you counted on any one tube? BTW: what is an Einstein patch? On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 7:55 PM, jimD wrote: > My epic tube patching fest continues. > Nor
