With my habit of dropping the thing in deep water, was thinking of carrying one to save a bit of time, should the worse happen? Embarassed

Youve 100% dropped a bollock, sorry to point it out, but innertubes were a thing from the 90s that used to spoil your day back then. Youve spent a lot of time and money, get it right and get some mousses in. even borrow some but get them in!!

Have spent a long time wondering about mousses and can't get my head around either the 200 quid they cost and the pain in the arse they look to fit versus the piddling amount of punctures I've had in donkeys years of riding Very Happy

As this might be the last enduro I do, wouldn't get much future value out of 'em either

But you've got me wondering all over again now.........?
