Taking 2 x road latex tubes as a back up emergency ??
Currently i use 2 x 29er inner tubes as a back up, even when folded they are so BIG and so heavy ;-(

Anybody else carried the latex tubes and used as a back up ??

Lightweight MTB tubes yes, but road ones… No way I’d say.

This answers my question :

26″ it is then 😀

What about some of the new schwalbe aerothan evo tubes? Should hold up to reasonable mountain biking, but 1/3rd of the weight and size of butyl tubes.

Conti Supersonics would be less bulky. 26″ ones even more so.

Just got back from a bit of bike packing. Friend got a snake bite on the tyre. He repaired it with some of those wiglets you stuff into the hole (can’t remember the name, sorry) . First time I’ve seen it used. It’s quicker than putting a tube in. Lasted over 100 off road miles to the end. Really impressed with them.

So now I take 1 tube, a tyre repair kit and some Park patches.

You can reduce the kit down if you already have a knife and a pokey thing. Also you only need 1 or 2 strips. You need the file but not all the handle etc
