Backcountry Bike Repair Series - Episode 3
Flat tires are a reality of being a cyclist. With modern tire and tubeless system technology, flats are far less common than they used to be, but sooner or later, a big puncture or sliced sidewall are still bound to happen. In this latest Backcountry Bike Repair episode, Kait Boyle and Kurt Refsnider walk through how to plug punctures and pinch flats that are too large to seal with sealant and how to install that tube that’s likely been riding around with you for the past year or two without immediately putting holes in it. And in the next episode, they’ll demonstrate how to deal with more substantial tire woes.
