I have been a long time user of the Park Tool GP-2 Glueless Patch Kit<\/a>, they have served me very well over the years. In fact on my Surly NeckRomancer<\/a> I didn’t even carry a spare tube. For many reasons, I ride on the snow and wow those tubes should be big right? <\/p>\n

Sunday I got a late start on my ride. I decided to climb the Fourth of July road, which is really a trail in the winter.<\/p>\n

The sun was beginning to set on my ride.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I rode through maybe 50 feet of dry ground the whole ride, where apparently I picked up a 4″ long antique hand hammered nail.<\/p>\n

No biggie, I’ll just patch it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Um yeah… not so much. Apparently if it is 15\u00b0F out, glueless patches are no longer sticky. It was a long run back to the truck in the dark.<\/p>\n

As a result I now carry a spare tube and Soulrun Tool Roll  in my seat bag along with a bigger better pump.<\/p>\n

 I still totally stand by glueless patches, but not for the snow bike.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
