Quads and flat tires and fix-a-flats

Nothing gives you a lower feeling than coming back from the top of the mountain while hunting and finding your ride back to camp has a flat tire. My quad had this happen. I have the Cabela's Leak-Lava in the tires, but it was still flat. After checking for obvious causes, including a broken bead, I remembered that I had one of those little deals with 16g CO2 cartridges. I had never used it. 2 canisters and I was on my way! I got back to camp and drove around for two more days with a slow leak. It turned out that I gouged the sidewall (no leak lava there) and was able to patch it for the time being. Point of story: Those CO2 things are worth every last penny! They are small and work.
