I won't say a repair stem will not work, it might work out fine for you. You need to be sure you get the same type stem (TR218A or TR220A) repair your tube has if you plan on adding ballast and to secure the stem to the rim. If there is any Calcium Chloride contamination left in or on the old tube it is more likely the bond of the patch will fail and it will have some pull where it is anchored to the rim. For the price of a new tube you are risking the patch cost and the loss of anything you use for ballast in the tire, plus downtime for another repair. Yes, it might leak out slowly but chance is as good that the patch might separate and dump the fluid out; in a location where repair is not convenient. As for the new tubes not being as good as the old ones, that might have some validity if you were comparing a new "old" tube to a current new tube. You are comparing your old, repaired tube that contained Calcium Chloride to a new tube; personally I think the new tube is the better option, especially with a new rim. Its your choice, just think it all through, not just the price of the stem patch compared to a new tube. JMHO
