Talcum Powder Review

by Levi Bloom

Talcum powder or baby powder, whatever you want to call it, that's what we're looking at.

Pros: Talcum powder is useful to lube between tubes and tires. It wards off pinch flats and keeps the tube from bonding to the tire.

You can easily find it at Wal-Mart, and it's cheap.

Cons: None.

The Final Word

Using talc on your tubes and inside your tires is one of the best things you can do to prevent pinch flats. Do it! (Don't bother with any specialty 'tube lube' that costs a lot more, though. It's unnecessary.)
