did the gas canisters come with that kit?
if not, where'd you get em?
 
I use the second version made by the same company. It's got a levered tool instead of gas. More reliable but its pig iron heavy.
 
These kits are the business

You can get them here http://bestrestproducts.com/ (Best rest products)

I've used them with great results and they're much easier to use than the figure of 8 shaped squishy ones, which always seem to get shredded by the tyre wires. No gluey mess - great. I've also got the pump and pressure gauge, and although together it's all a bit heavy, it does the job with no fuss.
I've got it all stuffed on the bike and leave it there all the time.

I even fixed a puncture in the Range Rover with them.

Fantastic. Recommend them. 100%.
The kit is great, and the service from bestrest is also great.

(I've no link with this company by the way)

Cheers
Matt

Why don't they supply larger print instructions instead of a pair of specs?
Mike.
 
OK then! I finally fixed it after a couple of false starts involving beer and another 75 miles :rolleyes: Not in that order though!! :thumb
It was easy. The instructions are simple and the tools easy to use. Fixed at first attempt unlike my previous puncture fixed using the bmw kit that snagged on the tyre cables twice before I got it right, just like wot Matt mentioned.
I can definitely recommend this kit. I is totally re-usable, it comes with enough plugs to last me 5 years at my current rate :D and you can get replacement gas thingies easily apparently. Yes they come with the kit Mr Xray. As you can see I don't use them though, I carry a pump & gauge under the seat.
I bought my kit from Busters for £30 and it took about a week to arrive. It has gas, 25 plugs, tools, instructions and comes in a bag which I now use for the pump, which is handy :)
This time I was not stuck at the side of the road but if I was I reckon I would be on my way again in about 10 minutes. Top kit :thumb
