Your story has made me consider getting that membership sooner rather than later.quirkygeekgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953541966597730755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207584811195702217.post-9762365777412509602010-10-12T21:04:07.076-07:002010-10-12T21:04:07.076-07:00Hmm, I'm thinking of ways of disguising having...Hmm, I'm thinking of ways of disguising having a spare tube onboard yet still have it accessable when you need it, like wrapping a tube around the seat tube with strips of electrical / duct tape every few inches. If done right it could look like a bike lock paint saver (might even act as one too) plus be a spare when you need it. Could even wrap a couple of plastic tire levers end to end under the tube (so they don't bulge too much) as well!<br />Paul... thinking of ways to make Mike's life better (& Kate by extension ;) ).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207584811195702217.post-21780746252839064242010-10-12T20:15:51.987-07:002010-10-12T20:15:51.987-07:00I hear ya - got the tube home and realized with th...I hear ya - got the tube home and realized with the two punctures it seemed to have developed (dunno how) patching it was really just delaying the inevitable. And I don't know if I'd trust an on-the-road patch job, really. Bought a new tube instead (had to wait till today, cause of Thanksgiving.) Flats always seem to come in threes for me though, so I'm still sort of waiting for the next hammer to fall.<br /><br />Such a pain, though, to have to carry around the pump, the tube, the toolkit. Sooner or later I leave them behind to make space in the bags... and then fate smacks me again.Kate (and Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12314278577720373140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207584811195702217.post-30025451180064603762010-10-12T14:51:00.305-07:002010-10-12T14:51:00.305-07:00I used to pack a tube repair kit but started just ...I used to pack a tube repair kit but started just carrying a whole tube. There are always those times when the patch doesn't quite take, you want to be done quickly or the tube is too shredded to fix.
