Has anyone tried this as a way of riding with a flat tyre?



Looks like it could work and this set up lasted a claimed 12 miles.

If it did work, I might try packing a few heavy duty cable ties instead of the spare tube, tyre levers and pump like I do now.
All to change the flat tyre I have never had.

 

Yeah, that looks like it would work to get you back from the trails. I know those cable ties are very strong, and as long as you don't rip it all the way back home, it should work to get you there.

 

thats good to know

 

Funny, I got a rear flat last week 25 miles away from home. I rode it all the way home, of course I took it easy and made turns at 10 mph but the Dunlop 606 (a very stiff tire) didn't have a problem getting me back.

 

Hey neil, how did the race go. Any write up/photos.?
Glad you're still in one piece.

 

The "race" is on Sunday.
There will be a write up and pics for sure.
It's not billed as a race, more a "fun" organised trail ride.
But put 300 testosterone filled lads on bikes and there will be racing.

I'm going for survival.

I slightly worried that the track will be so badly rutted after 300 bikes carve it up.
And there will be a lot of fast guys on 450's.

But heh, you are a long time dead right?

 

Fill the Camelback with some "new" Mother juice and don't look back.
If you can, get some Silcoline Pro Boost for the tank. Cheap way to give yourself an edge over the other guys. Only if you're not using the 'control' fuel though. LOL.
