Did I tell you the time when I punctured on my 1" slicked commuting mtb and ran out of tubes, had to tie a knot to my punctured tube to get me home? That was a good (if slightly uncomfortable) one!

I remember riding with a fella out near Salt Lake who was telling us how he once ran out of inner tubes while up in the mountains somewhere, and completed his ride by stuffing his tyre full of grass

[quote="Sylvain]Not much grass on South London roads![/quote]

Just hang around in Brixton looking a bit shifty, and you'll soon get offered some.

i remember someone trying the grass technique on an ECBR ride.

it didn't work. i think you need to use very dry grass or you just get a tyre full of silage!
