Spare tire vs Tire Sealer?

[Triathlete]

The best bet is definately a full size spare. However if that is not possible I say get 2 cans of sealer (which only works on smaller punctures), a tire plug kit (which will help with bigger holes or tears), a couple extra valves, and a good quality air compressor. That should set you up for pretty much anything except total tire destruction!

What Billy says is true, but if you are on the trail with me and get a flat, you are more than welcome to my spare. I'm sure someone in a VX will do the same for me if I get a flat after I loan my spare out.
Peace.
