Thanks for the psi suggestions, presumably you're still running these low pressures when riding on the road between trails? I already have rim locks so that should help. The bike's now with the garage so will definitely look into adding some sealant for future, like you say would like to do everything to avoid fixing puncture at the side of the road. The mechanic this morning seemed thrilled to be fitting the Trackers :D

Trackers are hell to fit because the sidewalls are so damn solid. It makes for a very good budget/novice tyre at low pressures, but a terrible mounting experience. As someone who changed a tube with levers in the shed, I avoid ever needing to do that again with these tyres. Also, I got a puncture on day one of using a new set, so don’t wait too long to think about it.
And yes, I am used to running them flat on the road. No big issue unless leaning deep.

Meant to say…Can you get some Oko sealant before the ride? Trackers are awful to fit, I would not want to change a tube while out on the trail.
My local mechanics fit ‘Bike-Seal’ so that’s swishing about in my DR’s inner tubes.
I recently bought some Oko to put in the Sherco, and looking online it seems well-rated for what it is, if Bike-Seal isn’t available to you.
