century rides.. 2 tubes and stick on patches... I was on a century once when i got a pinch flat from a pothole.. didnt see that my tire had a small tear in the sidewall.. flatted again from the tube poking out. 2 tubes and a boot needed
but dont' we do a saddle bag contents thread like twice a week?
Dude you gotta check the tire before mounting it. See a hole or something, put a dollar bill in it or something. Omggg
century is short, thats <6 hrs. Bring 1 tube. Most centuries are done with other people, lots of other cyclist would give you another tube if you got ANOTHER flat. I dont ride centuries solo, that's super boring.
