winter flat change secret?
So far I've been lucky, (cross fingers) , and I have an internal geared hub WITH a drum brake, it would be a hassle to change the rear.
I asked my mechanic friend if he had any tricks, and he gave me the smartest tip I've ever heard:
- drill a 2nd valve hole in your rear rim
- insert two tubes, only pump up the outside one.
- if you get a flat, just pump up the inside one (or even just carry a CO2 canister with you! 30 second fix) and ride home, then fix things up properly
