Fixin a flat

If the tube is in good condition go ahead and patch it. Make sure you check the stem area for cracks....

True if you operate with low tire pressure you are more likely to see slippage and damage the stem.

Good point about lower tire pressure, I forgot to mention that. I'm running 12-13 psi these (Desser 850 x 6 tundra tires).

Sorry the picture of my tire isn't that good, but I think you get the idea of painting a slip mark.

Maybe too obvious, but hasn't been mentioned. Worth patching and keeping the tube as a spare in your travel kit or in your shop.
