Flat in the midde of nowhere

[pashnit]

i have a cycle pump kit from Pashnit Moto and they are awesome and fit anywhere there small compact and value for money

Yes! Cycle Pump & Stop & Go Tire Repair Kit can be lifesaver.
Here's an example from a Pashnit Tour short while back:

One of our fellas had a bit of a slow leak and was getting pretty worried.

We were in the middle of nowhere indeed - Death Valley!



Pulling the nail out -

I encourage riders to ride with a needle nose or Multi-Tool: How would you get it out?



This was all it took.



We'll fix it with the Stop & Go Kit - these are awesome. In the 10 yrs I've been running the tour company, they've never failed, so I'm a big fan of mushroom plugs just from experience.



Nail removed...



Ream the hole with included reamer:

---

Assemble the plunger tool



Insert the mushroom plug



Remove the handle thingy and insert the plunger





Mushroom plug inserted, pull it tight to seat it inside the tire wall



Included razor with the Stop & Go kit, trim off the excess

---

Out comes the Cycle Pump, plug it into an SAE plug on my Busa & pump up the tire



And yes, this was done in the rain. Flat + rain. :(

We pulled the bikes in as far as we could to get in out the wet.




And back on the road!! Likely took us 5-10 minutes to plug the tire. As mentioned, this was in Death Valley, nothing out there.

And our rider still had to ride some 500 miles home. Plugs work great, he made it home with nary an issue, zero leaking, and promptly replaced the tire.

Worth mentioning I've been using the same Cycle Pump for TEN years now. Paid for itself many times over.



Btw, on the Gen-I Busa, the trunk is huge and easily fits the Cycle Pump Combo Kit in there. Look closely under the rear bar: That's the Cycle Pump air compressor. Right of that, I've got the EZ-Air Gauge, spare pegs, spare levers, + comm system, and I still have room for the Stop & Go Tire Repair kit.
