Right. I'm with Mickle. Some of you will know that I organise a night ride. Punctures are rare, but when they occur the Tail End Charlies stop and help the puncturee. We have a routine.
Take wheel off, take tyre off, rip out innertube, check tyre for foreign bodies.
Take innertube proffered by puncturee and discard
Take innertube from my pack and insert. This is a Specialized red packet jobby which comes pre-talced.
Life is too short to be messing with sticky innertubes (particularly if it's raining) and you have 40 people waiting up the road.
