    I’ve been using 27.5 tubes as spares in ALL my bike tires for years. Even the road bike. You can usually get them in 27.5x1.75-2.25”. This has worked for me in my 29x2.6 (they stretch), 27.5x2.35, and most impressively 700cx28mm. With the roadie repair, I put another 500 miles on it across Iowa without a problem. You just have to be more careful when installing, as to not pinch all the excess rubber.

      @peglor 5 лет назад

      I bring 26" presta tubes in my pack even though I'm running 27.5 and 29" wheels mostly (Have 24" and 26" bikes too though). I reckon the 26" is the most universal donor. I've never bought a 27.5" tube as they're too close in size to 26, which I had already. The people running plus size/fatbike tyres are about still probably stuck trying to use any normal sized tube though.

It enables me to take a slow ride with my children, but I learn so much from the videos. (I have a defective back, shoulder and knees) but cycling is a great physical activity, even for persons with reduced physical abilities. And your videos make a difference.

    Hey Seth!
    Related to the dirt jump sifting hack, you can grab some steel mesh and mould it around the top of your wheel barrow. Then as you pile dirt into the barrow, it will sift out all the sticks and rocks as you go. Then just take off the mesh when you pour it out.

    4:15 You know the metal ring that locks the valve stem in place? On some of those rings, there is a smaller section that sticks out. You can flip it, and the smaller protrusion will fill in the gap between the valve and the hole. I apologize if that was a bit confusing, and I can DM you on Instagram if you want.

    Hydration pack hack:
    Keep your hydration bladder in the freezer between rides. Leave the bladder 1/4 full. Blow in air to form a large enough air pocket so that the filler cap, bite valve, and the entire hose are free of water when the bladder is laid flat. Then place it flat in your freezer.
    The next time you fill your hydration pack, it will be slime free and will have a long chunk of ice to keep your hydration fluid cold.
    Been doing this for years with the same bladder with no degradation of the bite valve, hose, or bladder.

Take the water tube and put it inside the pack, and then place it vertical so it leaves the pack open. Helps the pack dry.
