Oxford Plug-It XL Tyre Repair Kit.

[Arsey]

Just ordered one of these




I had a puncture recently and my Stop N Go mushroom jobby failed to seal the leak. So I thought I’d invest in the sticky string type of kit as well and saw this new product from Oxford in a bike mag.

Looks rather clever and very compact , as everything stores inside the alloy tube, which also doubles as a handle for the reamer tool.

Also ordered some extra adhesive and sticky strings off Amazon .

Looks good.

The only thing that is missing Martin is a pair of pointed nosed pliers to remove the offending item

Very true , but I think most of us carry a small toolkit with a pair of pliers within ?
I always take my Leatherman .

I've used stitching string for many years on bikes, cars, trucks & plant. Even on bigger holes you can get string to form a seal. I buy the longer 12" long strings which are black.

Looks like a good kit, although I already have something that I carry

For the multitool I have a Stanley, it’s pretty basic but for what it needs to do it’s fine, cost about 15 euros

Leatherman for me too, plus one of these little pumps.
Brilliant bit of kit. Coke can for scale.

I’ve got this one . Don’t drink Coke, so a (small) banana for scale




Handily comes with various adapters such as the Optimate style so I can connect it straight to the Optimate plug I put on all my bikes

I’ve just bought a sticky string kit; not quite as compact as the Oxford one and haven’t needed it yet. What is the glue for? I’ve just chucked several tubes away because they’d gone off and I’m told the sticky strings only have a shelf life of a couple of years.

To coat the sticky string before insertion . Helps with the penetration (ooh er) and then seals any gaps …. Apparently

i didnt have any the other night so used copious amounts of spit oh mrs. definitely think some rubber solution would help insertion and staying power.
