Quick tyre question.
I currently have Bontrager H5 Hard-Case Ultimate, 700x32c's and i'm looking to change to Schwalbe Smart Sam 700cx35's....... Am i right that I should just be able to use the same tubes? Also the spare tube I have is a 700 x28/38C 277x 1 1/8" - 1 1/2"..... I'm right in saying that will be ok for anything up to a 38 wide tyre? Finally, for 75mile off-roader how many tubes would you take with you? I've done about 360 miles so far, at least 50% of which have been off-road (including follow the dog once, which isn't completely suitable for a CX).... not had a puncture so far. |

you could stick some slime in the tubes or get some with them in
http://www.halfords.com/cycling/cycl...0c-x-32mm-38mm they do add some weight compared to standard tubes. I've got some of those sealant in a can but not used them yet. All else fails check this video ![]()

Usual shout out for Aldi cycling stuff next week.
But there's a few new items, which could cross over into motorcycling too, such as the waterproof socks & neck warmer. Doubt the socks are going to AS good as pukka Sealskinz, but knowing Aldi stuff its going to be ok. https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuy...-25-september/
