Tire repair kit
Tire repair kit
Can anyone suggest a good tire repair kit for long hauls?
Looking for inexpensive, small, light, but effective for the purpose of if I get stuck in BFE I can at least get back to civilization to get a new tire.
These guys seam to make some nice ones but wanted to see what everyone else was using.

Re: Tire repair kit
I carry a kit I bought at Target I think. It's pretty much like that one without the CO2 fillers. I have a little hand pump I carry instead.
The main thing is to just have something to plug tubeless tires and something to get some air in the tire so you can limp to somewhere.

Re: Tire repair kit
I ended up going with a genuine inovations kit that has 45 gram CO2 cartiges.
When I used to be a mountain bike fiend I had a hand pump kit, took for - freaking -ever to pump up a mountain bike tire. I had a Co2 kit and pow one shot and its fully inflated in 2 seconds.
So I have a throttle dealio, pressure gauge, tire kit, saddle bags on order. I don't think I need much else.

Re: Tire repair kit
Tampons are the most effective for removing liquid that isnt supposed to be there that you cant reach with a rag!! I have two in my tool kit and have used them to remove water from the fuel filler area under the seat of Red!

Re: Tire repair kit
This tire kit was featured in Sport Rider (something I picked up to read on the plane). Good article, good test, looks like a good product.
