My wife and I headed out for our late honeymoon. It was supposed to be a 3-week trip and about 4000 miles. She was on her 2008 Concours, and me on my 2022 KLR 650, which just had new tires and tubes installed. About an hour into the trip, my bike started wobbling. It got worse so we pulled over and found that my tube popped for some reason. Now my wallet is $630 lighter from the tow and I’m back home with my bike parked an hour away so that it can get serviced. Hopefully we make it more than 50 miles tomorrow.

    Yeah. This is my first bike with a tube so I haven’t learned everything about it yet, but now I know. To change it, you just need a new tube and some spoons, right? What about lifting the bike to get the tire off? Would something like a Tirox SnapJack suffice?
