  • Sup folks, completely new to tubs, so I was searching through for some puncture repair advice and what to carry for roadside fixes.

    I was hoping to avoid carrying a pre-glued tyre (if at all possible), mainly because I have no idea what i'm doing, but also because I thought it might be a bit bulky to strap under a saddle. I'm really looking for a get me home/to the nearest station/uber-able area kind of fix.

    Been looking around different sealant options, and saw Vittoria pit stop mentioned a few times as being good, but I was a bit put off by it only being able to fix one flat (I think?). I started looking at Tufo Extreme Tyre sealant, and was thinking of taking a couple of CO2 canisters with it. I was wondering if anyone had any experience using that?

    I figured on top of that I'd take some super glue and patches if it was a larger cut than the sealant could handle on it's own.

    Really appreciate any advice/suggestions!

  • Pre-filled tubs (latex inners). I use Effeto Mariposa sealant.

    Last two to call a cab to nearest station if you dont want to carry spare tub.

  • Ahh yep, certainly figured a nasty puncture might lead to finishing the ride in a taxi!

    So pitstop handles actually inflating the tyre too right? Worth carrying some canisters too or does pitstop do the job alright?
