Rear quick release?

[PacNwTexan]

Moscow+ here. I am curious if there is a way to make the rear quick release? In concerned about getting a flat on a trail.

I added liners, installed slime, carry Goop flat repair.... i've done what I can, but what if I'm 7 miles back and have to change the rear tube?

I carry a spanner to fit rear nuts, spare tube and forks to remove tyre. Keep in bag under seat. Far easier to swap over tube when out and about, repair puncture when you get home.

I found a small wrench to keep in my pack. I imagine quick release may not be a thing on hub drive.

I like that tool, although, however I believe the rear bolt is 19mm

If you get a flat, you can apply a patch to the tube without taking the wheel off.

But you have to identify where the air leak is, and then you can pry the tire off, and then pull the tube out enough to apply the patch. Once you get home, then take the wheel off and replace the tube.

I run Schwalbe tires, and have not one go flat yet.

I have been looking for this item, but did not know if it existed. Just to get you home without removing rear wheel would be worth it.

Is there something like this in Europe? Don't think they're sold outside the US.

You would need to carry a knife to be able to cut the old tube in half to get it off.....I don’t have one in my tool kit Now.
