Puncture Repair Kits

[ochstui]

Hi Guys,

I'm just about to head off to Morocco for a couple of weeks on my R2100GS (2005). I know I should take a puncture repair kit, but have no idea which makes / types are the best. What would you recommend for tubeless tyres in terms of ease of use and portability?

Wow, didn't know they made a 2100 GS

Joking apart though, this is what you need:

Stop & Go tyre plug kit.

and some of these:

or take a cheap electric air pump, for about a tenner. Here you go:

Oh and by the way, you will have to wire the electric pump directly to the battery as the socket under the seat won't supply enough power.

Another vote for Stop & Go. Plus a small compressor. Mine live permanently in the top box. Only needed them a couple of times but I can repair a simple puncture and be rolling again in less time than a breakdown man is likely to take to reach me.

You haven't heard of the R2100GS? It's a prototype, I'm off to put it through its paces on the Moroccan dunes - should be rolling off the production lines around the end of the year.

Or maybe it was just my butterfingered typing skills... Good rumour to start though!!

Thanks for the info guys, Stop and Go it is then. Hopefully with less stop, and more go!!!
