One of the most common issues riders face is the dreaded flat tire. Whether you run tubeless or tube-type tires, it can be a challenge to fix and inflate your tire on the side of the road.
Fortunately, gone are the days when you had to enlist the help of strangers with an air compressor in their workshop or, worse, pump the sucker up by hand. Carrying a tire repair kit on your bike is easier now than ever before, with a variety of compact tire pumps on the market that can make airing back up a breeze.
