lol the puncture repair kit post made me laugh.
Again 21st century , pop into any bike shop (apparently not halfords
) and you can buy puncture repair patches (i do believe there is a green slime branded make). These are like stickers. Peel em off and stick em on. Job done.
The great thing about these are, when you have a puncture, simply roll the tyre to locate the puncture (this time of year its always bloomin thorns!) , pop the tyre off, pull out the punctured bit of tube, stick the patch on, remove the offending thorn, stick inner tube and tire back in, inflate with your cyclair or CO2 pump (no sweat no effort). Its quicker than changing a tube on a bike that doesnt have quick release.
I find these patches will hold for ~75% of the time. Carry a spare inner tube (and spanners) for the 25% and other catastrophic failures.
PS I use woods valves adaptors on my Agattu. I dont notice any resistance using my cyclair.
