CVRick 42 Posted November 26, 2015 what are good tire repair kits? I have cheap hand pump and tube plus tools now. What to add co2,patches and plugs maybe. What are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 107 Posted November 26, 2015 Hand bicycle pump and extra tube, with couple patches and cement. Co2 cans are nice if have the space but I ended up carrying co2 with hand pump as backup so not worth space. Plugs will only be needed for tubliss setup no use with tubes.

wildwood 11 Posted November 26, 2015 What to add co2,patches and plugs maybe. What are you using? I keep all the above on board. The co2 cartridges have a small wt. penalty (you want 3-4 on hand if possible). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, plus bring some fellow riders drinking Tecate to take pictures while you sweat your ass off. I also have a small Slime air compressor I bring on my big bike.

Dan Diego 40 Posted November 26, 2015 The CO2 cartridges will set the bead quickly. But a MotoPump (or slime or harbor frieght) works just as well, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted November 26, 2015 agree with BP above. CO2 cartridges are too heavy and the pumps always seem to fail when needed the most. The back up hand pump on the CO2 inflators is absolutely worthless. I highly recommend an inexpensive mountain bike hand pump. if you ride a big bike with paniers an electric pump makes sense.
