The majority of tubeless tires punctures can be repaired in just a few minutes! There is no excuse for not
carrying a repair kit, but even more importantly, you should know how to use it. Practice at home on an
old tire so you are not trying to figure the process out on the side of the road! While tube-type tires are
more of a hassle, once your learn how to patch a tube, it can be done a lot faster than trying to arrange a
tow. Further, you should periodically inspect your tire repair kit to ensure the glue has not leaked out. If your kit has CO2 cartridges as its means of inflation, do you know how many cartridges it will take to inflate your tire to a safe level? Find out before you hit the road!
