    Just buy yourself a bead breaker and carry a couple of tubes less space needed less weight , you also don't really need to carry another spare heaps of places to get them fixed and the roads are not that bad up there

    in addition to my spare, I carry a pair of .600 tyre levers and a spare case and a tube or two. Not as fast, but lighter to carry. Changing cases on 130 rims is dead easy with a couple of tyre levers. just make sure there's no grit, leaves or sand in the case as it will eventually bite through the tube. Don.

    I also carry a large rubber mallet and carry the spare tube inflated inside the spare case - keeps rubbish out of the case and ensures that tube is OK.
