Bought a stop and go tyre repair kit from M&P a few years ago and finally got the chance to use it last year when a mate found a nail in his rear tyre on a ride out. The CO2 cannister does leak a little as you screw it onto the tube but it did the job. The trick is you've got to be quick. I used 3 cannisters to get enough pressure for him to make it to a garage. I've since been informed it will normally take up to 5 or 6. Don't think it will ever be a complete solution but it did dig us out of a hole when we were miles from civilization. I now carry at last 5 canisters in my kit and thanks to little post event practice on an old tyre I'm well prepared for the next one..... as long as the side wall is ok

This is what you need.... plus a decent flexible tube onto the valve

As already mentioned.. bicycle pump, you can use it many times and only need to buy it once

Hi All
I also use the adapter as shown above.
Have found what I considered a "cheap" supply of cartridges

looks like it, i assume the cylinder is screwed in then the yellow knob is screwed down puncturing the cylinder?

That is correct
