Tubular troubles

Needabike

Hi
In the process of assembling the new bike and seen an issue for when I get on the road.
My current saddle bag used to take 2 tubes , 2 co2 cannisters , tyre levers and a multitool

Problem is now that I am switching to tubs , the spare tub on its own wont fit the bag. Is it possible to get a unit that sits in the bottlecage
with enough capacity for the spares I need on a spin??

How about just using a regular water bottle with a wide opening for storage?

Yes, just cut off the lid of a bottle and stick your spare tube in it. Or you can always get that temp filling thingy in case of emergency of you don't want to carry a spare tyre.

You could also just get a toe strap and strap it on to the saddle bag.

i love the cage rocket! i an getting one

Hermy

I just stuff everything I need into my jersey pockets.
That's all good until you crash land on your back!

OP when you say tubs, do you mean tubeless tyres ie the ones you glue on?

Needabike

Sorry I am a late eighties roadie

TUB = Tubular ( glue on )

Tube goes into a clincher

don't train on your tubs

On my TT bike I use a Carbon wing. On my road bike strap to the rails of my saddle.

Got sorted for €28.99. Also nice design as it doesn't heed a strap on the carbon seatpost - last one caused seatpost wear

tunney

you won't fit a tub in that

Needabike

I did and also a refill cartridge and a small pedros multi tool.
It's the medium model from ALtura , pic shows the micro model

You fitted a multitool, co2 and a spare tubular tyre in that bag?

E@gle.

How to you go about and glue on a tub to a rim when you get a flat??

tunney

Tub is already glued, provided the glue on the rim is recent it will rebond. Not as strong as fresh glue but enough to get you home.

Needabike

You can actually ride a tub without glue if required in an emergency.
However I use a rim tape which stays on the rim and provides enough adhesion to get me home.

I used vittoria years ago and can hardly remember getting a puncture
the main key to avoiding punctures is correct inflation pressure

I thought everyone knew how to carry tubs...
