First few tyres I changed were a real slog , all kak handed and pinching tubes and blood blisters , but after a while  you get the knack , it's a 10 min job , and off you go again . Get some nice little levers like these

They seem just the job . Once you've done a few , and know the procedure , you'll be back on the road in no time .

Having said that , I'm a mousse virgin , need to try one , but for £200 , you can get a lot of tubes !

Yeah I think for my needs and skill level tubes will work fine it's not like I'm entering romaniacs lol just local trails.. And thanks for the advice in going to go for a heavy duty tube, some levers and co2 then hope that I don't get a puncture Smile
