I need to get some spare tubes in case I blow some in the woods, is there any specific hd tubes u guys can speak for? And any tire spoons/levers to make Trailside tube swaps less of a nightmare? I’ve only had bikes with radials before and only rode street, but the adv scene is calling to me. Need to be prepared! Any advice for equipment to help facilitate Trailside repairs is appreciated as well. Thanks in advance!

    @SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE @innermachine Great advice about swapping in HDs!

    I would say though, that having used the Tubliss system for a while, they def have a… …colorful reliability history. Some had no problems, but people like me had the inner high-pressure system totally rupture. Mine happened while the bike was at rest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

    I’m a big fan of their Nitromousses for off-road though, nice to just not worry about flats at all, and not have to carry the tools either.

      Yeah I’ve definitely heard mixed reviews about tubliss. I do a lot of pavement so I tend not to lower my PSI too much that I risk pinch flats in my tubes but it would be nice to be able to fix a puncture as easily as I would with a proper tubeless rim and tire.

      I wish I could run a mousse…
