Double AMEN to that. Road bike after dark in the rain is bad enuf, but you NEVER want to remove Pugsley tires anywhere but home or the bike shop. Pain in the arse in several ways. Can be done. But you will be pumping half an hour with a hand pump or carrying five air canisters all the time. And a spare tube is the size of a large motorcycle tube!

Yes...Stans rocks!
