Had my first flat tire today.

Recommended Posts

I have a few neighbors with bike so we decided to meet up for a ride, went up Black Mountain. After that over to the Hideout for lunch, we did about 100 miles in the backcountry. I had a flat on Mainstreet Ramona.  Repair went good, lucky for the shopping cart behind the store.

Well dressed homeless people, looks like a riding gear explosion happened too. :) 

Flats are a PIA, good job getting going again.

Did you patch or replace? If so, did you have the same size tube? I hear you can use a 21" tube in the back temporarily. Saves carrying more than one.

Yes all we had was a 21", I found it was really easier to get in and set the valve stem in the hole then times putting the in a 18"

Bagster, I will have a proper kit with a version of this. This job required stuff from three riders and lucky for the shopping cart.

First flat ever? And here I've been thinking you've been riding since Hodakas were invented...:heh:

I never patch, always carry both front and rear tubes.
