I didn't think it worth the risk to try and carry a can of Mastik One on the flight (> 3.5oz & flammable to boot). I could have tried to buy some locally or shipped to a local shop (@gugie said there's a Universal Cycles shop in Beaverton). Instead, I opted for some Jantex tape bought from Amazon which should arrive at my son's place on Monday.
I rode Cycle Oregon on the Jantex tape with no issues. I love how you mount the tires. Easy to get the tire on as straight as it is sewn. Follow the instruction to the letter. Tire mounted straight on top of the clear plastic. Don't push down on the tire. Doing so may mean the plastic tears as you pull it out.
I haven't tried to take a tire off yet. Don't know what I am in for. I hope my hands and a steel tire iron are up for the job.
