Leah and Joyce, you both alerted me to wrenching details I've lost as an old hand at this stuff; things I need to remember when talking bike mechanics to folks still learning.
"Fixing a flat" is indeed broken up into several steps and doesn't all have be be learned at once. In Leah's case (no workstand) the trick would be to toss a blanket or rug on the garage floor and flip the Clem over, then remove the front wheel to practice (rear is harder, that can wait). Then deflate the tube, pull it out, put it back in, reinflate. This covers everything I would do on the road with a spare tube: swap that baby in and patch the bad tube later at home. Heck, with tubeless she's never going to need to patch a tube anyway, the spare will just be a backup if the tubeless won't hold air after a puncture. In summary: Front wheel comes off easy, rear wheel with derailer a little more work, tube swapping is easier on the road, patching good at home 👍 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
