Tube blisters and seat question

Hi all,

I have noticed a couple of small blisters on one of the tubes. Should i puncture these and then patch?

I am also after a grp or aluminium seat - its a 3m Ribtec rib and the picture shows the fitting patch on the tube - any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,

Can't help with the seat, but the tube spota are normally caused by a cover rubbing on the tube during storage. Unfortunately, they are not going to get any better on their own. So, if you can't live with them simply apply a patch over the top with a "ghost" patch the other side (to match).

Steve

Thanks Steve. I had read something about possible de-lamination, so encouraging to think i can patch them.
Thanks Again.
Tim
