Tubes

[Major Softie]

Rear flats are more common. When I'm only packing one tube I take a front, it will work in the rear as a temporary fix.

That's not very logical?

Doesn't make sense to me either...

Right, I'm in the pub at Hillston NSW having lunch with the other lads.
Heading north to Nymagee for the night.
I wasn't sure who to believe so I believed yez all.
I took a front tube, a back tube, and no tube.

I know you were trying to save space, so where did you put the no tube?

I too would rather have a spare front for use in the back as opposed to a rear stuffed into the front. Makes sense to me.

I guess I should have written: Though rear flats are more common, when I can only pack one tube I'll carry a front tube as you can use them in both wheels. The smaller rear tube shouldn't be used in the front IMO.

I'm in the opposite camp. I'd much rather have a tube have to stretch out to fit than have folds inside the tire.

Using a front tube in a rear tire won't make it bunch up. The outer diameter is the same.

I once stuffed an inflatable dinghy into my 18" rear tyre it got me home no problem. Now I always carry one
