Interesting idea but I would be more concerned about the extra unsprung weight. It may work out to not be an issue and the idea of being able to simply pump up the other tube and carry on with the rally has some real merrit. We spent a pretty good mount of time in the woods last year with a few peoples flat tires at the PB300. It sounds like the kind of thing someone is going to have to try for a while before we know if it will work out or not. --- In DSN_KLR650%40yahoogroups.com, "bufbooth" wrote: > > Hello, > > Has anyone experimented with installing two inner tubes in each tire > as a way to avoid being stranded with a flat tire (or to avoid having > to make a field repair)?
