Flat tire on the trail, what to do?
Just curious, you get a flat from these cheap inner tubes on these bikes while on the trail, do you bring all the tire changing gear with you to fix it or roll it back to the truck if you even came by truck?
I'm planning on riding highways to the off road trails and would not have a truck to haul it back with. My old Honda XL200R i rode everywhere as a kid and luckily never had a flat to worry about. Just preparing, thanks

It does not mean you wont get a puncture but it is a safer bet than the original tubes. |

I carry three tire spoons, patch kit and bicycle pump in my burrito tube. Also make sure you have a wrench to fit the axle bolt so you can remove the tire and rim.

Good point. I forgot most bikes don't have a center stand like I have. They also make a snap jack that looks like would work good.

As a minimum you better carry a pump. In most cases, the puncture is not big and the tyre does not deflate instantly, so if you inflate it to say 30psi it can give you an hour of riding. Or at least 30 minutes. Then you pump it again, and again, and again until you get home/truck/trailer etc.

I run rimlocks on front and back of my bike so any flats will keep the tire from separating. I carry a portable trail stand patches, a spare 21 tube(can be used on front and back wheel), spoons, and a pump.
I drove 40 miles on the bike to an offroad area when I was in between cars, and I had a pinch flat right at the end. since I wasn't carrying any trail stand, and the terrain was rough and slightly muddy, since I had a rimlock I was able to limp back to the front of the offroad area. I tried to save the tube, but it was wrecked. I had to wait 4 hours for my dad to make it there with a spare tube, then it took 20 minutes and I was riding back home, lol. |
