This may sound stupid but I'm taking part in my first Sportive on Saturday 80 mile! (very hilly) and I am only now starting to think about punctures and what to do!
When I go out training I don't bother carrying any spares or repair kits with me to save on weight, as I just assume if I have a problem I will call home for a lift!
I have been lucky to not suffer the fate of a single puncture yet but I am now starting to panic thinking it will come at the most unluckiest time, especially now I have written this post.
So I am after some advice as to what I should carry with me on the day if anything at all.
If anyone has any tips on changing tyres also as I tend to find it extremely difficult.
I will be riding a Specialised Allez Sport Double with quick release wheels.
Any advice will be help for a newbie, thanks!
