I would recommend when you can get a new tyre, go for a 70/30 on/ off road one, and take a tube to put in if you get another puncture.

Let’s see what I can get

[@russwright]

Getting a tube (and a patch kit for the tube) is a good idea at minimum.

[@rodneybarrack1851]

Yeah, as much off road you run into I agree. I like the Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires. They are 50/50 but their designs help prevent puntures like you got from running on road only tires. Live the videos brother. Hope you find a new set to keep you traveling. Safe journeys.

Super brave and determined to do this! Seriously the manufacturers of Eva should sponsor this trip - it is a great advertisement for their product.

[@kradblatt]

If you get sponsored by companies they usually expect something from you. More or less communicated but usually nothing is for free. It's always more realistic if you don't have to sell yourself tho the ones have money even if it's harder to manage. Thats something I really like Marcs trip for compared to some other travellers / influencer.

[@RahulChoudhary-dy4ni]

One more suggestion try to keep a small manual pump. Battery operated pump will fail anytime but manual will work if not fast. Some manual pumps are very small in size same as the pump you use.

[@sanjeevsen849]

Roads in Nepal and Ladakh really took a lot of toll on those tyres. Sharp stones cut really badly into the tyres, even if the tyres are new, still the sharp edges of stone can slice into tyres like knife goes through butter. And once a tyre gets cut it's very difficult to plug the puncture.

[@MarcTravels]

True

[@inmamtbike]

Things happen for a reason Marc, you see it as a defeat but those of us on the other side see it as a victory, it's not about the destination but about the path, the adventure lived along the way, the teaching you get, the ability to solve problems more and more intelligently, quickly and with less nerves and the friends you've made along the way is what those of us on the other side of the screen see, remember all that!

I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the “tire patch” fix is for the sidewalls and that too it’s pivotal that the punctured area is cleaned with a sandpaper or something that could roughen the area of puncture. Secondly, try to keep a tyre tube for tubeless tyres, it’s a temporary fix. Although, I’m sure once you enter China, roads would get better.

[@MarcTravels]

Good tip!

[@paulwassenaar8351]

_“tire patch” fix is for the sidewalls_ Sorry to say this but the sidewall can not be repaired correctly/permanently. Not with plugs nor tire patch. You can try (it might get you to a tire shop) but side wall puncture means replacement.

Hi Marc, ich denke, Du hast Probleme mit den Reifenflicken, weil Du den ersten Schritt nicht ausreichend machst. Du musst das Loch mit der Raspel richtig bearbeiten - rein raus ein paar mal. Es kommt öfters vor, dass ein Plug, oder die Bänder nicht halten, wenn das Loch nicht genug geraspelt wurde.

Mark - just drill a hole in the center of the rim to pass the valve stem, and place an innertube - that will be easier to find than a New tyre where you are. Later you make something that Seals that hole So you can go back to TubeLess. Just put enough pressure in it >35psi to avoid ripping the valve stem. Good luck
