Grouch Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 A claw hammer to smash pad locks off gates blocking your way
kenDAWG Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 Waterproof over trousers, mobile phone, spark plug,bottle of water, tyre weld,adjustable spanner,screw drivers and a wank mag!!!! That's all I take Ken
BillyBennett Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 I've got screw drivers, adjustable, rachet,im gonna get gloves and some puncture foam. Anything else? Oh I'll get a hammer. What's a tyre weld?
kenDAWG Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 It's instant puncture repair stuff, it pumps the tyre up aswell.... Only use as a last resort as its horrible stuff. Ken
Grouch Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 How about some protection in case you come across a family cannibals? Seriously though, just take a basic tool kit, a can or two of red bull & some food/chocolate. 1
Moderator DirtyDT Posted April 22, 2013 Moderator Posted April 22, 2013 Cant use tyre weld on tube tyres....................at least I don't think you can. I would take a teddy bears picnic. 1
kenDAWG Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 I've used it on a tube tyre pal done the job got me home and it does say not suitable for tube tyres you are correct. Green Monster energy drink and mars bars is my pick me up and rive on food-!!! Ken
BillyBennett Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 Ok thanks! Just needed a rough idea of what to take! Can you get puncture foam for inner tubes by any chance?
jimmy Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 A polythene bag, an orange and some electrical flex....................oh wait wrong forum 1
kenDAWG Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Kendo knows what's up ..... That's the shizzle right there!! Don't drink to much you will be likely to pee a strange colour and run around In circles a lot!!' You can invest in a bottle of tyre gunk that sits in your inner tube waiting for puncture then cloggs it up good stuff Ken
busyeddie Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Slime is the product youre after. Buy it in bulk on ebay?
BillyBennett Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 So how much of this tyre puncture thing should I put in each inner tube?
slice Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 I use "GOOP" it comes in 1/2 and 1 pint bottles, use 1/2 pint per wheel, if you get your tyres changed tho you need to tell the guy changing it that you have used it, they get REALLY pissed off if you don't tell them and they get covered in crud, not nice stuff to get off either, water soluble but takes ages to get the little bits of rubber out of all your crevices!!
busyeddie Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 The slime.bottle tells you how much to use. Theres a few ebay sellers, but.one cycling company do 6 smaller bottles much much cheaper than.everyone else.
busyeddie Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Its not as messy with tubes. Plus why pay a monkey to change your tyres?
