I'm unable to carry a spare wheel on the GP. So I was wondering what to carry for emergencies and came across this...

That'll only inflate your tyre/tube but I'd buy it from Halfords, much cheaper. I carry them with a spare tube and the fitted one filled with sealant. If tubeless carry those and a tyre repair kit too.

.... as long as your tubeless rims have no problems. :roll:

You could simply carry a new inner tube. Much less bulky than a spare tire mounted on a rim.

Which tyre gunk are you using? I've got V3 rims on mine and am willing to run the gauntlet with Conti Navigators fitted.
