Spares and fixin's

You see, there are some advantages to keeping those split rims on the old 
rig. A prybar, a patchkit(where have all the hot patches gone?)and a pump 
is all it takes to get down the road/trail. No bead to seat, so you could 
use a bicycle pump if you had to. Just don't have a SLOA(sudden loss of 
air) incident at highway speeds...
