Puncture Repair Kit Recommendations please!

[Victor c]

I have the Air Pro kit, which not used yet, but looks like it will do the job on a not to large puncture. I have mine stored in a small black dry bag (possible 1 or 2 litre from Sports direct). It then fits nice and snug in the space under the read rack with a bit of double sided Velcro holding it in place as extra security.

Stop and Go has served me well for years, no glue to go off, just bang it in blow it up and go. Works on the bike, car and even used it on my van, not just as a temporary fix either, for the remaining life of the tyre.

Pulled into the fuel station just going into Richmond from the west (Subaru i think) and there was a guy looking at an R6 with a flat front tyre, it turned out it was his mates bike who had gone into the shop to use the phone to ring for recovery, me and his mate had a plug in and blown up before he'd come back, he was amazed to say the least.

+1 for the stop and go

I use a Stop n Go pocket tyre plugger kit with an ADV Design pump as my go to everyday kit... I have used the Airman pump too, which is also pretty good. If you want to really save space you can use a few CO2 cartridges. When I'm on tour in the wilderness though I do supplement this with a gummy string kit, a spare inner tube that can be used front or back and full puncture repair kit just in case the tubeless kits can't be used. Remember that tubeless kits will only work if the puncture is 'nail shaped' in the main tread part of the tyre, any gash or split in the side wall and you'll need something a bit more substantial like a tube but then you're in the realms of carrying at least some tools.

Stop & Go kit for puncture repairs.

Had a huge hole in the rear tyre while in Morocco.
Needed two Stop & Go plugs to repair. Then rode home through Spain and France without any problems.

Dynaplug for me

Why import from USA? Probably quicker and cheaper to buy from the UK. I believe Stop & Go is available from UK sellers and the compressor is the same as the RAC one I have which is also available in the UK. UK suppliers will generally ship to most EU countries and no import duty is due on sales between EU countries.

If only I could have found who sold them, had a quick look but did not find one, so just oredered from USA, not in a hurry, as already got some puncture kits, but this one ticked more boxes, cheers for the heads up though.

All fits in a smallish resealable bag and then just get a small air pump and ensure you can plug it in the bike without tripping the socket.

POS, IMHO. I got through 3 of they trying to fix a puncture for richardbd of this parish outside the Falkland Arms in Great Tew. We gave up and used something else which did work, just after Richard lost all hope and had called the RAC. Sticky strings haven't failed to work since.

 

[Hairyweasel]

I'm with Chazzy on this.
10 miles outside oban, tried 3 of the rema things and they didn't work.
Recovered back to Leeds.
2 weeks later a puncture big enough to put my finger in on the hard knot and my mates sticky string got me home.

I also have sticky strips, and also this kit in the link below, been lucky not used it yet, but being on the safe side I am keeping a mix of a few puncture kits, in case one does not work as planned.

I have used the plastic screw in plugs as well and to be fair it got me home but it wasn't a permanent repair like all the stop and go fixes have been. Did get me going again though and they couldn't be easier to use.
