  1. hi all, about to take delivery of my 1st proper bike ,it,s a giant nrs 1 at
    40% off the original price, my question is i believe it comes with tubless
    tyres, so how do they work is it the same as in car/motorbike tyres and
    what if i get a puncture how is this repaired 10 miles from home, if i carry
    a spare tube can i put this in as a "get me home method" or as i have a full
    bottle of slime (used in my motorbike days) can i use this

    TIA

    Carry a spare tube. They make a special version of Slime for "tubless"
    (sic) tires, but it's still a good idea to have a tube just in case.

    The tires tend to fit really tight, too, so good idea to care tire levers;
    but be careful not to damage the bead since it needs to hold air when no
    tube is installed.

    Enjoy your new bike!
