Tire Tube
On bicycle tire tubes that get a small hole such as from cockleburs, is it wise or easy to repair the tube?
On bicycle tire tubes that get small holes such as from cockleburs, is it wise or easy to repair the tube instead of replacing it? If yes, is there a good do-it-yourself kit? Which ones and what is the approximate cost? Will putting superglue or some other type of glue on the hole in the inner tube work?

DO NOT try to improvise. You can get a patch kit at any bike store or even Walmart. Always repair a tube. They are remarkable resilient and will last for a long time. In your case make sure your carefully feel around the inside of your tire with your fingers. If you find the remnants of a thorn or metal / g;ass sliver, remove it with tweezers of a pair of needle nose pliers.
I would suggest that you but a set of tire liners and properly install them. They will virtually put an end to road flats.
