Today’s QT comes to us from Premium Member Russ Wood, who writes:
This comes from personal experience. I’m usually pretty good at keeping my saddle bag/commute trunk tire repair kit up-to-date, but I had gone several thousand miles without a puncture.
Unfortunately, when I opened up my repair items, I realized that the tube was a punctured one from my last flat, which I hadn’t replaced.
I tried to patch it with a “glueless” patch, but the patch was old and didn’t hold very well. Good thing my wife was just a phone call away!
Make it a habit to check your on-bike repair supplies regularly.
If you have an idea for a QT, fire away. We’re always looking for good info we can share with fellow roadies. We would love to hear from you with any suggestions you have. Contact us by clicking Quick Tips Ideas.
