Tyre changing made easy every time
NoMar bead lubricant makes tyre changing a breeze, and
it’s now available in a monster 3.1kg (7lb) bucket as well as
the traditional half-litre (one-pint) tub. This super slick, non-
toxic, vegetable-based rubber lubricant includes a corrosion
inhibitor, and it’s water soluble, so you can dilute and spray it,
or use it as a paste so it stays where it’s put. Unlike petroleum-
based products, it will eventually absorb into your tyre to
protect the rubber and improve the seal against the rim.

Leak-proof tubes
Pirelli’s heavy-duty butyl inner tubes offer
excellent strength and will not allow air
to leak, as happens with natural rubber.
They’re created specifically for off-road
or MX use to withstand hard usage, so
make sure you’ve got a set in your kit.
