wesf Posted February 25, 2009 Share Invest in tubless ..... The canisters work great, allot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted February 25, 2009 Share those" canisters" or bombs as they are commonly knows, are only to inflate a tube, not repair it. Rather make sure you use slime filed tubes but do carry and extra tube and a pump. Make sure the tube is 100% compatible with your pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith Posted February 25, 2009 Share Take an extra tube. The canisters are for inflating your tube quickly without having to use a hand pump. Another option if you want to avoid punctures (but not 100%) is to go tubeless. Search "Ghetto tubeless conversion" for a cheap option that works.

Jozanne Posted February 25, 2009 Share Hi Girl - in mtbing - just be prepared for everything!<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Definitely take an extra tube... even if you have tubeless..if gadgets fail.. you'll be begging a spare tube form someone. Luckily, and I have said this before, the awesome sport of mountain biking just wouldn?t be the same without all the good Samaritan?s out there? loads of respect to all the men (and ladies ) that stop to offer their assistance. My theory :what comes around goes around? A girl can be physically tuff and even technically inclined; but after an ?incident? / accident we normally lack the emotional strength to fix any problem ? hah! Don?t fret ! ? there will always be a man ready to pump that tire !By the way.. that?s how I met my handsome husband ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted February 25, 2009 Share Never leave home without a spare tube (or 2) - walking is no fun. A canister (if you mean those sealant jobs) will only seal holes up to a certain size. If you pinch flat badly, you're fooked. Slime is good. Tubeless is also good. But carry spares anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
