I've got 700x23 on the bike right now and I have some extra 700x28 tubes from the old tires. So the question is: In the event my 700x23's get a flat can I use a 700x28 tube as a "get me back to civilization" spare?:confused:

Yes. In fact, the 28 tube is probably intended for tires from 23-28... Even if it isn't, you can always get away by using a bigger-than-the-tire tube...
