Always carry a needle and fishing line !

Recently I started traveling again trough northeast of Brazil and there is many places where there isn't any bikeshop or where to buy a bike tire .Usually who sells is the guy that fixes car ad motorbike tires but I just can't find anyone where I was so I solved my problem on the tire with a needle and fishing line .That arrangements let me continue my travel .And no I had biked 62 kms with the tire fixed but always near to get destroyed again .Tomorrow finally I will made the last 34 kms to the city where I expect to buy a new one .But this kind of emergency repair saved me.The only thing is that you can't go too fast or on a irregular path where the bike keep pulling up .
