I could understand this question if you're on a borrowed bike to attempt a local $35 tri, bike race, du or whatever. Because that's all you can afford. Otherwise......NO. Seriously. Butyl tubes are what? $3? Latex is like $12?
I've had people try to give me a fiver for me giving them a butyl tube on the side of the road. No dude/dudette. It's yours, enjoy. It's a tube.
5 tubes @ $10 each, patched in 20 minutes = $150/hr. And that's POST tax money. I'll take that any day!
Lol........You need to figure out why you're ruining so many tubes! More pressure, same pressure and more tire, or lose weight. Or stop riding in the gutter where all the trash is.
As said, these flats tend to happen in short periods where I get a lot of them. And then virtually none for the rest of the year. Not sure why, but that's how it works.
In the times where I don't get flats for nearly a year, I obviously don't bother to batch patch - just get a new one!
