I had 27 patches on one tube. Remember the patches you had to clamp and light?
No, just rubber&glue.
YA! you had to ‘Scuff’ da Rubber tube, apply the glue )now banned in all 50 States!)
LIGHT IT UP! then apply the patch! ----Ah, Good times! ![]()
Now it’s peel off, stick on, hit it with a CO2 cartridge…
I have Continental Gatorskins on my bike. Kevlar lined. I don’t even carry flat repair anymore. Bike tire technology has come a very long way, that’s for sure.
And yeah, I can’t tell you how many patches I put on over the years.
When my dad was a kid he was part of the early bike racing scene in Queens. He rode on “tubulars” everywhere in NYC. Those are where the tube is sewed right into the tire, and the whole thing is glued to the rim. A flat meant he had to peel the tire/tube off the rim, peel back a canvas tape strip to expose the threads, cut open the tire threads, pull out the tube, patch it, and re-sew/glue the whole mess. He did this on the side of the road.
… uphill in 30’ of snow in the Summer time when it was 100° outside and in the dark. ![]()

I drink a quart of milk every day! It is good for your bones and good for hydration. The cows look at me funny when I am sucking on their utter.
I am not sure, then, how you know it is a quart… not that I want to know. ![]()
64 squeezes of the utter.
If I understand the anatomy correctly, it is the teat that needs the attention, besides the fact that it is an udder. And uttering is illegal. ![]()
Maybe the cows are waiting to see if you go near a bull. ![]()
