For some reason I don't totally understand I agree about patching a front. On a side note,has anyone seen a front tire go flat? 25 years,honestly never had one...

I have only had one tire flat on my bike. It was a rear and it was worn out anyway, so I just replaced it.

whoever cleaned your wheel hates you, that slime stuff pisses whoever replaces the tire off big time.
