Just working on the spouse bike, a flat on the front, going to stick a fresh tube in and "stole" the core to put on my Palo Alto... so one new tube but TWO problems solved.
No, so far I do not use sealant, but you'd think there was a "usual practice" on cleaning cores before re-use to get crud out of them.
Did not think about pre-deflating tubes. Sounds a little like trying to remove McPherson struts without a spring compressor... do NOT go there.
nope just a bad fat jonny depp
new tube, and steal the core from an old dead tire is something I have done also.... great minds and all of that..... no struts for me.....I get in enough trouble with bikes
