which temporary puncture repair kit?

[Ish]

Hi

Which puncture repair kit do you suggest as a temporary repair which would allow me to get the bike to a proper tyre repair place?

I don't want to get stuck if and when I have a puncture!

Most of the time they don't work, if you get a screw in the tyre as it deflates it'll puncture the tube in several places, do you have panniers or a top box, I ended up carrying tyre lever bars spare tubes and spanners and a small bottle of soapy water.

I got it down to 15 minutes to repair as I got loads on my rear tyre in London

If your talking about tubeless tyres then I've used this and it works very very well.

Goops expensive. Search for Slime, it's cheaper and works well.

I've heard snot is good.
easy to use, just connect nostril to the valve, block other outlet with finger and blow like ****.
(please note results may vary)

I have used those loads of times. It's how my dad mended tubeless tyre punctures, when they first started using tubeless tyres, they changed to patches in the 70's when they couldn't get the rolls of rubber cord anymore. That was for long term repairs. My brother bought one of those kit's in a french supermarket a year ago, cost him a few euro's, he fixed his puncture with it and it lasted till the tyre wore out.

Snot sounds good though

i used to use one Similar to slime and it worked well
you but it in the tyre before you have a puncture not after
didn't upset the balance etc and its also a permanent fix and not just a get you home fix like the crap called tyre weld

I've used that stuff that comes in an aerosol can a coupla times (can't remember what its called). Inflates the tyre and coats the inside of it with a viscous fluid thats seals the puncture. Works really well and is easy to store/ carry with you. Only a temporary measure mind, but is a lifesaver on the motorway or far from home/ garage, etc.

heard the faster you go with slime the faster it heals.... as a result of the dealer telling him that 10 mins later he was allegedly doing 150mph down motorway on way home...
