Tyre Repair Kits - CeeJay07 - 23-02-2010
Just wondering what puncture repair kits people are using and how much under-seat space do they use???
RE: Tyre Repair Kits - BikerBoy - 23-02-2010
I've got a Cargol Turn n' Go kit. It's a key type plug that you screw in a snap off.
Cost was $60. Comes with 4 repairs and 4 air cylinders, chalk, pliers etc...
I carry 2 repairs with me and packs up to about the size of a sunglass case.

Cargol are shit, had one and they dont seal properly.Better off with the sticky string type such as the XTech kit available for about $50 from MCAS

I repaired three (nail in tyre) punctures with the Cargol kit and have had no problems since.

Thanks for the input guys...have now purchased Cargol kit from Fasterfaster (thanks Pete)

I read about cargol in AMCN, and they bagged it.
It seems that it works really well, however not for all puncture types.

More info regards the statement would be good ?
Have used and had no problem also
The repair also should not destroy more tyre cords in the process of the repair .................. The repair is a temp fix to get you home only 
Not for 300 K runs after the repair

Removed a small staple sized piece of steel, installed cargol, inflated tyre tyre, continued to leak straight away. If it does not seal with such a small puncture as this then yes, no matter how many smilies you use, I will say they are shit. The other type sealed it perfectly.
