Puncture Repairs

[nickw]

That's good service.... And it has saved you from being stranded.

021's are good tyres, however, does that mean you now have an odd pair of tyres front / rear. If so, just take care. We've had previous discussions on how tyres are designed to work together.

Tyre matching. How important?

These look better and look more permanent and remove the need for any skill.

Thanks for this. Just ordered one. Same style as the one I had that uses the snotty, sticky piece of string! But, it worked a treat when I needed it after a piece of square bar decided to make a home in my rear tyre. Repair held for the next 6 months but doing it is a messy business - this plug method looks much more professional.

If you have a mini-compressor, you can buy the same kit, less the CO2 cartridges for £24.99.

CO2 cartridges can be purchased for £7.80 from Motohaus www.motohaus.com/acatalog/Airpro-16g-CO2-Cartridges.html

The Slime mini-compressor is a good bit of kit www.infinitymotorcycles.com/product/slime-power-sport-tyre-inflator/3727

All you have to do is press the tab on the original advert and you can buy them with or without CO2 canisters - simples.

I normally buy the co2 capsules off ebay for my air pistols, i get them by the hundred so they work out 50p each, or for 5 delivered works out £5.90

Are the ends threaded for use with a tyre valve adaptor, (not clear in the photo or description).



A pack of five threaded 16g C02 Cartridges.

no the caplets for airguns are smooth ended, there pierced when loaded into the gun, so probably no good

They are, indeed, a mixed pair. In fairness, I ride pretty sedately, anyway But I'll certainly be baring it in mind
