DJR Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 The roads of the south in a bit of a mess after all the rain, had countless punctures ... I used my spare tube and all 6 of the patches I had as well as an extra 'stick on' emergency patch and was still far from home! As luck would have it that wheel set, built from a lot of stuff in my garage and so on, has a tubby rear and a clincher front. I always carry a spare tubby anyway despite how cumbersome it is. Had a thought as I was contemplating waking my wife up to fetch me in the sticks ... Would a tubby fit over a clincher rim? And lo and behold it does [emoji41] rode 50k's home with it and never felt like it was going to come off or anything! Sadly 6k's from home I had to call the 'team' car to fetch me for a different reason, nothing serious and already sorted luckily [emoji3]
