I confirm the wisdom of Tigit providing inner tubes with Honda 150 rentals. I suffered a rear tire blowout descending the Hai Van Pass late Sunday afternoon for a Monday Tigit Danang return. A local coffee vendor called his brother in law who brought tools up the pass for a Sunday evening repair made possible because I had the Tigit-provided inner tube. I was back on the road in 90 minutes - I was happy as was the travelling repairman when I volunteered a very fair cash payment. Well done Tigit.

You can also use a tube that is a bit too big if you have to. I had to do this when I suffered a rear puncture out in the countryside with no spare and no correct size available.

Nice timing :) Another reason to rent from Tigit; me and my buddy were recently riding Vietnam on Tigit bikes and ran into a couple from Italy who suffered a flat in the middle of nowhere, without cell service. We did what we could to help (had a pump, which I always travel with), inc. calling the couple's rental company on their behalf when we reached the nearest town. Now, we didnt speak any Vietnamese, nor did their emergency contact person speak much english, but trying to get them to take any action to help coordinate service with locals was near impossible. So I called Tigit, explained the situation, and they called the couple's rental company and got them to take action. I should add, Tigit providing spare inner tubes was clutch on a few occasions, and shows how thoughtful they are about your rental experience.

Greetings from Bangkok. I saw a collection of vespa scooters the other day... All had spare tires fitted into the bike. Why? They got flats all the time?
