Tyre Repair Kits

[scarp]

Having done a lot of rides in my time, I have to admit that I've only had a handfull of flat tyres & never out on the open road.
Now increasingly I hear from other riders that they would not venture out of the garage without Tyre plugs & gas inflaters.
So I've started to look around for a kit to carry on the bike, has anyone here had experience with these kits if so can you recomend a particular brand/ type?

Got one of these on the way from a local supplier

while I was at the Sydney bike show, Tomcat Distribution had these on sale, and having seen them before, was keen to get a kit.

No messy plugs to stick your fingers together with and pretty simple to use - wind it in with a hex spanner, pull the excess back with a pair of pliers, and cut off the remains.
I also carry a Slime 12 volt air compressor much like Gavo's

Hi Scarp - check out this link as there is some very cool info contained within....

I also never leave home without the plugger kit, worms and a compressor.

Having done some roadside repairs, it is much better (for me) than to wait for the tow truck and watch your baby disappear coz you can't fix a simple nail or screw in the hoop.

Just got my tyre plugger kit, it seems well made. Just hope I never need it.

Now to mod my pump so it will plug in to the powerlet socket

Just also carry some compressed air cylinders also as electrical compressors can fail at the worst times I carry both
