Been thinking about long rides and what would I do if I had a blowout that I couldn't repair on the trail! After some research and viewing other ideas I made this to relieve some pressure of possibly having to walk back to camp.Excellent idea Airshot ... bring to market! 🏁🏁
A number of companies make sound deadening materials for auto use. Check with your local car sterio store. Many are self stick. My 450 was fairly quiet as the wife and I have no problem having conversation at slow speeds. We rarely travel at speed so that hasnt been a problem yet.
Havent found any weakness on mine so far. I do carry a spare belt and the tools to change it if I had to. Would be a tough job on the trail but not impossible. Definetly a good tire plug kit and a bottle of slime....you need something for that air compressor to blow!!
You only ride alone if you can be within walking distance to civilization or help. I have ridden alone many times where there was lots of traffic and people just in case! When alone I plan my trip near roads and trails where there is a lot of traffic. I would never venture into wide open country alone! When you do venture out, be sure you have a way to fix a flat tire and if your going far enough out a spare tire. Drinking water, rain/sun jacket or protection, first aid kit, flash light and some matches. I always carry a sharp pocket knife and personal protection whenever the law allows.
