In my emergency kit I have a folded up spare tube. Fitted it
today - GLOOM! the valve (Schrader) was leaking. Eventually
I thought of tightening it up and it is now OK.
So the tip is : From time to time check your spare tyre
actually works.
(The other possibility is that being tightly packed it gets
worn through at some pressure point.)

Didn't I advise inflating spare inner tubes under water
annually? Maybe I was dreaming...

I've just checcked my spare tyre and it's still there, but
smaller than before.
So I need a bit more cycling and a bit less chocolate.
