I am not sure running tubes inside tubeless tyres is going to help much. You might want to look at one of those puncture repair kits with the plugs, the glue & the tools.

I'd agree with Nick. Don't forget tyre levers.

Unknown to me I had a company car with a inner tube in it. Tubeless tyres are not designed to run with tubes in and in this case it burst on the motorway. By the time I got to the hard shoulder the tyre was a shredded smoking mess.

Apparently a inner tube is round and so friction builds up due to it moving in the tyre, when it gets hot enough - BANG ......

I wouldn't do it myself after that experience.

This is the sort of thing you need. IMHO
