I have RAC breakdown but i dont think they normally fix punctures, so they will take you to the nearest bike shop and you will have to pay them to fix it.So you might as well learn to do it yourself and save some money. Also i think it would be handy to be able to change your tyres for something more suitable if your going somewhere off road. I would like to try the Trailmax as a road tyre but if they will be difficult to remove i would go for Tourance again, which i believe would be easier to get off. I am coming to the lakes meet and am worried if it rains alot i will struggle, so was going to get some TCK`s and swop them over before i come . When i get back i can revert to the road tyres again. If i take it to a shop it will cost me about �100 pounds to swap them around.
