Newbie question: Patching pinch flat's Good idea or not?Eric

Being the newbie that I am I was runing my tire pressures a little to low and have pinch flats in 3 new tubes. Is it ok to patch them?
I don't see why not...patch away my good man! [NM]AndyH

Yes. Pinch flats give you the kind of two-for-one deal you don't want. Use a separate patch for each hole OR a single patch that is large enough to EFFECTIVELY seal both. I've got some tubes that seem to be more patch than original rubber; but I'm cheap! Good luck.
