How long does it take you to start packing the tube? I’ve never packed a tube and was wondering if I need to start pumping longer or?
Depends on your shape and size tube.
I started off with a 2.25” years ago. Now I start in the 2.5” and pack it in about an hour.
Hot water pumping helps a lot.
Pumping is a slow and steady wins the race kind of hobby. But the gains do come.
