Or even to hang your wheel on while you put your bolts in.

If you want advice on what to do with your nuts, though, Amanda is here to help.

Very little point in having the tyre goo, or the repair foam that I still carry.

I've had at least three punctures and in each case the rim has ripped the tyre wall to shreds in about three revolutions. So, unless you pick up a slow puncture that deflates the tyre overnight or similar, no amount of goo will help. Personally on a long trip I would seriously consider taking a spare tyre (without rim). Most local places will be able to fit one for you, it's getting hold of a compatible tyre that is a pain in foreign places.

Thanks for that Dave. Think I will get a tyre and pack all the luggage around it.
