flat tyres issue

Carry all the paraphenalia. Spare tube, patch, solution and pump.

 

I only use bombs for racing but that's just me.

 

I carry two spare tubes and patch and solution as well as a pump. Being a roadie, I have to contend with beer bottles, especially on my weekend rides.

 

Seems the things get born and dumped on the roadside on Friday and SAturday nights.

slime works well for small holes, but makes patching the bigger ones even harder as you end up with green goo all over the place. In which case its easier just to slap in a new tube.

Droo, you got the recipe right there.

 

Drink 'em beautiful.

 

I'm reliably informed that the difference between a fox and a hound is about a case of beer.

Hey, my GF's pretty hot even without the beer goggles on. But it did take a few pints to get me in the right frame of mind to attack...

Helloise, it's probably relevant to know that Boschendal is infamous for punctures... (I got the only one of the year there last year). Definitely pack a spare!

Hopefully my luck in the vineyards is better this weekend, I went through 3 (yes, 3!) slime tubes in Wellington on Saturday.
