flat tip #????

Post by Ateam Consulting » Wed Sep 17, 2014 6:44 pm

Plastic bag Zip Locks or Zip Ties?  Even duct tape in strips between knobbies will help to hold a tire & wrong sized tube in place.  Again, go very slowly.

E-specially for newbies. (may be old news to OLD guys. yuck yuck)   I carry VERY LARGE (2ft+-?) Ziplocks, and they can be WRAPPED around a Flat, 3-5 is good to keep the tire from coming off or  spinning on the rim. (helps protect inner-tube also.)   Try to run the Zipstrips, (or rope/wire) between the Knobbies so they do not cut to fast on the rocks, etc.. and around the rim threw the spokes, to hold the tire inplace   Ride slowly to somewhere you can repair or get help etc etc.   Besides ion the tool bag, and a couple in the topcase, I ran 5, along the SPARE Clutch cable by the front of the frame, Tapped together the small ziplocks holding there. EASY access in the rain etc., without digging out the tool bag.   Just can't have to many Ziplocks (different sizes.) Held my pants up for 3 days once until I could buy a new belt. (just 2 loops worked, not all the way around.)
