Is there a recommended pump/air compressor?
Here is thread discussing pumps. Like many topics opinions vary. I carry one of the cheap slime compressors. I also carry a hand pump when riding solo incase the compressor fails.
Hi,
is the Recommended Flat Tire Kit (page 1) is still updated?
Im about to complete my kit...
Bob, that's ridiculous. I couldn't possibly watch her change my tire with a screwdriver for spooning. I'd have to look away. My knees hurt just watching hers bent like that the whole time.How to patch a tube without removing it from the tire/wheel/bike.
Of course, YOU won't be able to do this, you need HER to ride with you and do it for you while you take a smoke break

And if you aren't carrying one of these on your back country rides, I can't imagine why.

Seriously made life 1000x easier, not searching for rocks/sticks to hold the bike up
In the years I have been riding, I have seen 3 clip type masterlinks come apart on the trail. I have never seen a rivet type come apart. I use rivet links and carry a clip type as a spare in the bike tool kit.
Excellent photos and anecdote on Mexico travel & tire changing & chain stuff!!
Just in the circle I know, Mark Subcomm lost a clip type on Old Ore and Jon lost one on the TAR. I checked mine on the 500 and noticed the clip loose and the chain worn overall.
I think they're fine if they're checked (more often than I did) and installed correctly. I've come to the point where 2 (or more) clip type spares will be carried.
