Comfy armchair to one person & a plank to the next
The tyres don't stay up and the waste is offensive. It's funny when they fire off prematurely, though.All my bikes carry a CO2 pump, why would you not?

Me, when I know I might have to change a few inners on a beginner's rideHe's making an awful meal of that, and who carries a track pump on a ride?

This was my favorite before it died, got similar, a bit slimmer, now.
I have seen Sky ride leaders with a full size track pump in their panniers when on beginners led rides.

But in the video, he's got a full size one!
But no matter what the pump, the basic idea of patching a tube without removing the wheel is sound.
Matey in the video was working on a hub geared bike, which adds a wee bit of complication. Not a show stopper for sure, but not as straight forward as a derailleur equipped bike.I do not get that, removing the wheel should take less than a minute even using spammers, what benefit could there be In making things harder.
If you are reading this and are worried about removing and refitting a wheel ask somebody to show you how.
If you live close to me, drop me a line and pop around and I will show you how, I am sure many on here will make the same offer.

Yep, done it, pissy wet morning, get to work deadline, rear wheel puncture. As the hissy noise was away from the valve, the quickest option was unseat the tyre from the rim, get the tube out, patch it, re-rim the tyre and go. That bike was geared but didn't have quick release.I do not get that, removing the wheel should take less than a minute even using spammers, what benefit could there be In making things harder.

CO2 is great on the commute though. Especially when there is a meeting due to start !!!
How is it any harder to omit two steps (removing and refitting the wheel), not need to balance a bike that has a wheel removed and not need to adjust the chain tension or hub gear cable? Other than that, you're doing steps that you have to do anyway to patch a tube.I do not get that, removing the wheel should take less than a minute even using spammers, what benefit could there be In making things harder.
