tubeless road tires what to cary to repair when out cycling

Post by E-wan »

I am in the process of ordering an Audax bike from spa cycles

Going with tubeless rims and tires and wondered what I aught to carry in the way of spares for repairing when on the bike

Schwalbe S-One Tubeless Easy 30c tire on Stans ZTR Alpha 400 rim



Thanks

Spare tube. If the sealant doesn't work then its a big hole. That to me means the right kit and a tube is easier.
I have the same tyres waiting to go on. Can't see me changing much except maybe only 1 tube on long days and I may sacrifice the big pump as I hope to have less punctures that need attention. Never had a wall rip .

I've been tubeless for just over a year now. On everyday rides (to work etc - 13mile each way) I just carry a CO2 inflator and one 16gram bottle. I've never had to use it. On a longer ride I would definitely pack a spare tube, 2 tyre levers, the CO2 as well as a small pump just incase of a major rip that the sealant wont fix.
incidentally, I read that the sealant needs replacing periodically so I took the tyres off the other day in order to do this and to my surprise I found a huge blackthorn right in the centre of the front tyre. Must have been there for ages :)

Are you sure a 30 mm tyre will fit in the Spa Audax frame and your brakes of choice?

Hi,
Biggest problem is finding the hole :?:
Goo in tyre......makes fixing properly difficult later..............eggs in radiators.................

Treat as conventional tyre........remove debris fit tube..............
