I agree that it's not a good idea in the long term. But I've found that carrying one spare which is skinny often makes it easier to change a tube beside the road, especially in difficult conditions (rain, high heat, etc.). I seem to be less likely to pinch the tube when it's on the small side (maybe one size) for the tire. Of course you're supposed to swap out the skinny tube for one of the right size when you've stopped for the night. Something I sometimes even remember to do. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
