.....but I don't know anything about them!
Ok, I have a trek 1.2 WSD bought last year. When I'm cycling, I carry tyre levers and a puncture repair kit, and am about to order a pocketrocket pump. Haven't punctured yet, but i figure it's going to happen one day.
I know I need to carry a couple of spare inner tubes..... but i don't know anything about what size to get (are the all the same size? am guessing not?).
There also seems to be a lot of references to 700c tubes..... what the heck does that mean??! Looking on the spec for my bike, the tyres are 700x23c.
Again, I don't know what that means!!
Am aware there are different inners by different manufacturers out there (some better than others, obviously) - Continental and Schwalbe seem to be ok from what i've seen?
Another question (and i might be on a losing streak on this one).... is it possible to buy those plastic covers that go over presta valves? Mine's split in half.
Thanks
