Last issue we had a look at tubeless tyre repair.
This issue we’ll tackle the far more involved process of replacing a tube. Note we didn’t say ‘tubed-tyre puncture repair’. Using a patch is a process we constantly see done incorrectly and we’ll tackle that separately.
For now, we’ll assume you’re carrying a spare tube and the tools you need. If you haven’t sorted out the equipment you need to carry for tyre repair, no amount of advice from us or anyone else is likely to help you. Also, we still see a lot of people reciting tyre-repair advice they’ve obviously recalled from enduro riding in years past. There’s nothing wrong with that, but the enduro bikes and tyres of our youth were a far cry from the bikes and tyres used by modern adventure riders.
