Hello everyone-
Here's my question...I've noticed my rear tire has been getting low on pressure from time to time. Last trip to the trail, I bought a cool little mini pump from a shop at the trailhead. When riding over rock gardens and roots, do tires 'empty' little by little? Is this what a "pinch flat" is? I'm a bigger guy, and I've never 'blown' a tire, in the traditional sense. The pump came with a bracket to mount it to my frame...is this the norm? Or do people tend to bring the pump only for all day rides?
Thanks all!
