Tyre repair gear?

[clint640]

Make sure you have the tools to take off yer wheels. I take a little spray bottle of glass cleaner for the visor which doubles as tyre lube.

Take a spare front tube, it will also work in the back in a pinch.

Practice, it's a bitch the first few times. But after changing a few tyres completely just popping one side off to fix a flat seems easy. I recommend wearing out lots of tyres so you stay in practice. Aquiring a girlfriend who wears out lots of motorcycle tyres & changing hers too also works well.

Basically they have gas cylinders and a dog turd style repair agent, and a tool to install it.

I used it once to help another motorcycle rider once, and it worked great.

Sounds painful for the rider

I am assuming you mean a repair for a road bike. CycleTreads in Auckland (they have a web site) have small puncture repair kits you can carry. Basically they have gas cylinders and a dog turd style repair agent, and a tool to install it.

Things going good today!
Got some motion pro levers, spare tubes, small mtb pump, patches and glue etc. been talking to mate who does truck tyres about patches or something for tyre itself and nabbing some bead lube off him to fill a some container/bottle.
Think I've ended up with a spare mitas e07 too , guy at DAS said importer nearly sold out, so if someone needs one next week for brass? I'll onsell it .

think I'll run sockets and a bar for toolkit rather than multiple spanners? what do you guys think?

I think you can't re-tighten a loose mirror with a socket. (among other things and assuming we've moved on to more than just wheels).

Have a look at the tool kit thread:

true, maybe one small adjustable spanner in tool bag to be on safe side.

Tyre kit

Had more patches but a certain KBer used my big ones

my trail riding kit, patches in the air box and pump etc in the tube rubber strapped to bike
the full kit
i quite often carry CRC on longer trips as it makes tyre changes soooo much easier especially the last bit onto the rim

oh and the Glue is an English brand of vulcanising glue its only about $2.50 but is way better than any other brand i've tried
