MarkU Posted December 10, 2009 Share I JUST MADE THE CONVERSION TO TUBELESS, A LITTLE LATE I KNOW!!I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HUBBERS WHO RUN TUBELESS CARRY WITH THEM IN CASE OF DISASTER?? I AM NERVOUS AS TO HOW EFFECTIVE THE STANS FLUID IS. SHOULD YOU STILL CARRY A SPARE TUBE, AIR CYCLINDER, FITTING FOR CYCLINDER, TYRE LEVERS AND A HAND PUMP???? SEEMS STUPID IF TUBELESS IS SO RELIABLE, ESPECIALLY ON 50KM TYPE TRAINING RIDES. I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO THINKS A SMALL PUMP IS ENOUGH JUST TO TOP UP BIG AIR LOSS?? ANY TAKERS?TKS.

NotSoBigBen Posted December 10, 2009 Share Tubeless is reliable but not infallible! I would still carry at least a tubeless repair kit, pump and tube ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibles Posted December 10, 2009 Share http://www.bicicletta.co.za/GenuineInnovations/Genuine%20Innovations_Tubeless%20Repair%20Kit.htm I always carry the tubeless repair kit and I've just bought this pump which is really small: http://www.bicicletta.co.za/CrankBrothers/crank_brothers_Pumps.htm#Power_Pump_Pro You should carry at least one tube.

Trapper Posted December 10, 2009 Share I've canned the extra tube (with slime). Only 4 bombs, handpump, tubeless repair kit, and some tubeless repair grommets (for the real big holes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blankster Posted December 10, 2009 Share I learnt the futility of a small pump on tubeless. Especially when the air loss is significant, they lead to one pumping too enthusiastically/roughly, which can twisting/damaging the valve. Pump, bomb, repair kit for bundus. I ride mostly city during week, so mostly always near garage for which I use Shrader adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubeless Posted December 11, 2009 Share Great advice. To the OP: stop shouting (posting in capitals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
