I got a flat just like you did in no man’s land, some guy made a u turn on a goldwing and plugged my tire and filled it up with air using a little compressor, he wrote down everything he had and I bought it all and used it maybe 10 times on other peoples bikes I’ve never had another flat tire yet but when I do I’m ready
Can you share the list here too?
share the love, share the list
In bicycling 6K miles per year I’ve found that if you stop and help another cyclist with a flat, maybe contribute an inner tube (I always carry 2) you will never have a flat yourself for the rest of your day. Karma or paying it forward call it what you want it just works.
I'm that Goldwing guy, u-turned many many times! 👍😎✊
I’ll have to get to correct name but the air pump was on Amazon for $40 and the tire plug kit was like $5 works like a champ and it’s small
I also got a flat exactly like yours when riding through Belgium - thought it was going to be a huge issue, then along came a support car from Team Ineos (professional cycling team) - they had me going in under a couple of minutes and used the same sort of type of plastic repair screw that you did! Top guys! Now I always keep a tyre repair kit under my seat. Thanks for raising people’s awareness - you don’t fully appreciate how important this is until it’s happened to you!
As an American, when I saw "EDC", this is not what I was expecting at all.
Yup me too ;
lol at first I was thinking “aren’t guns illegal in the UK?”
Not at all what I was expecting!
When I was a despatch rider in the 80's I used to carry a tin of various sizes of self-tapping screws and rubber solution to repair my many punctures . Work colleagues laughed at first but they all copied me . They used to last until I changed the tyre .
I didn't realise I'd invented something!!
He’s a tip for those that use strings, if your rubber glue has gone dry use a bit of engine oil, grease or chain lube, it works just as well
i actually saw these on wish and ordered them, woke up one day to go to work and my tire on my car was flat, pulled out the nail, and used one of those screws, air tire up and went to work. 6 months later and still no problem.......
Never come across these, before. Definitely like the look of them. Great idea; thanks for bringing these to our attention.
When I got a puncture in South Wales a couple of years ago, there was a tyre workshop half a mile away. This is when I found out I had inner tubes and they could not fix it (which is stupid in my opinion). No bike workshop in the whole of south Wales was willing/able to help. Took three day for RAC to get my bike home.
Cool little kit!
I'm fortunate with tons of storage, have a small jump pack, 12v compressor, all tools and spares needed for roadside assistance.
Very often stop to help other bikers 👍😎✊
2008 Goldwing
I have carried and used them for a few years now. Highly recomended. Especially if you are travelling out of the way places where rescue isn`t an option.
Use freezer bags to hold stuff, they are a bit tougher.
I use 'Tire Plugger' which is a mushroom plug. Comes with the installation tool and does a great job. I have a set in my wife's car as it has limited run flat tires with no spare. I have a small compressor from Aerostich. I have used the plugs twice both on new tyres. The last one, several tires ago finished the last 13,000 miles before changing. Whatever system you choose it is great insurance, practice on an old tyre so when you need it on a dark rainy road it is not an 'Event', just shit that happens.
My first FJR was too low for the kick stand with a flat rear. Too heavy to get onto the center stand. I leaned it up against the concrete barrier. An open country road, well, hopefully the edges of the road would help with the height issues. I don't want to find out.
Love the part 'I don't know why I did that!'
The Ikea ones seem tough and are very cheap, as long as you have a store nearby that is.
I used one on my Subaru tire and it lasted all the way from Maryland to Nevada and back.
Having a repair kit with you is a no brainer though many don't! I use the sticky string ones and an airman pump and have successfully repaired punctures on both my cars as well as other peoples bikes. The co2 cartridges are smaller than the airman, but will not inflate your tyre to the correct pressure, so you then have to limp to the nearest petrol station, hoping it's open and the air pump works. Only thing with the airman is make sure yiur bike is running otherwise you could end up with a nice fully inflated tyre but a flat battery 😂
If you have tubed tyres good luck!
When CO2 is in both liquid and gas in the same container it is just about 850 psi, I would imagine they are capable just something else is at fault, too much,leaking in the beginning etc....
@@jeffreystroman2811 I personally haven't used the co2 disposable canisters for years, last time being on a CB750cc Honda which resulting in me having to limp to a garage. As you say difficulty using these can arise if you haven't got a good seal on the valve but it can also be because your initial repair hasn't worked and once activated the repair kit I still have that's on the shelf in the garage doesn't allow you to turn the supply off so if you have a leak you loose the contents of that canister and have to start again. This can then lead you to rapidly running out of canisters leaving you still stranded at the roadside or limping to a garage with an under inflated tyre which in itself is dangerous. Even though they are high pressure they have very little volume so my view is if you have room to carry it on your bike get a proper electric pump, I'd only consider the canisters if I had no other option but as always it's down to what works for the individual. The best tyre repair kit is the one you never have to use!
@jeffreystroman2811 More than enough pressure. No where near enough volume.
Buy a pencil case from a supermarket drop you tyre repair kit in sorted. Isle of man tt racers in the 2 stroke years would screw one inside the fairing to carry spare plugs and plug spanner.
I always carry a plug kit and compressor
Always have.
Always will.
Many thanks for your video. I have the 'small gas bottles and pull-through tyre plugs' set-up. But your system is simpler and I will change over.
"Puncture Repair Kit". This is what the video is all about. That and a small air pump.
Cool good for automobile, motorcycle, trailer, riding lawnmower,....
New to me after 40 years of riding.
The 2 tire levers are for a bicycle tire not a motrcycle tire which is thicker and much stiffer (as I understand from what you said and by the look of them).
I carry a good quality bicycle pump. Mine will fill a steet sportbike's tire of 18 inch diameter in under 2 minutes of pumping.
My new ADV motorcycle has tubes. So these will not work I imaging.
I carry the Stop & GO mushroom head shaped rubber plugs. But they are more work and come with installation tools. And the kit takes up more room than your screws.
I also carry a tire repair kit not what you use mine is a plug that you use a tool to insert work real well used on a car never failed and a friends bike still going strong but use the co2 cartridge type to reinflate tire
Great looking item thanks. I use a seat bag to carry my emergency gear - mini pump, socket set, puncture repair, etc.
tools go under the seat on mine but a seat bag with emergency first aid kit (marked with the red plus) stays on top - that way others can access it and help if needed
Add a jump box to your kit in case your battery dies.
I have a set that uses strings and it's very effective. I have a Triumph Speed Triple and not much space under the seat for storage. For that reason, I bought a tiny air compressor from AA (cost about£20) and worth it's weight in gold. Blew the repaired tyre up in gig time! Lasted me about 1500 miles before I got a new tyre!
Thank you for this vid, I didn't even know these existed, ordered some from Amazon
You were not kidding when you said little pumo lol. I carry the old style tire plug kit and added a bunch of those litte scre guys. They looked like a quick fix. Glad to know they worked. Ride safe!
i agree some type of tire repair kit is truly a must for that very reason. the odds might be low that you would catch a nail but the odds of catching a nail while you are pulling into your drive way is, i bet, larger than winning the lottery. i have a kit with a plug and co2 canisters to air the tire back up. pretty small and easy to store even on a sport bike
As a mountain biker I run tubeless tyres and we have these funny little string like things for plugging the tyre. The difference is I have a small inflator that uses CO2 bulbs and it has schrader valve fitting. Would one of those with a few CO2 bulbs be a quicker option for inflating your tyre. It least it may get it part of the way before using the little hand pump, they are bad enough on a mountain bike.
If you extend the rear of the front fender to near the ground it will stop nails etc from being set up by the front tire .
I carry a Stop n Go tire plugging kit instead. Yes, you do need a couple more tools - a reamer to clean the edges of the puncture, and the tool to insert the mushroom plug into the tire - but a plug like that is basically fine for a track day. It can do more than let you slowly limp home/to the nearest tire place. Tiny air compressors can also be had now that are in some cases practical to carry on the bike. But yeah, some kind of tire plug is wise, these just look pretty sketchy compared to the traditional options.
Thanks for the tip mate. My bike has spoked wheels so inner tubes so these won't work on my motorbike but I've ordered a box of 10 for my car.
I also have a bike with tubed tyres. Haven't had it done yet, but there are companies that will adapt your wheels to take tubeless tyres. Dear though at £135 per wheel.
Great recommendations and small. Defo something I'm going to look at. Thenks for sharing.
How about buying gloop and popping that in tyres when you get bike, I done this on 05 blade before a tour round Ireland, on tyre renewal, due to wear, I was told it had punctured twice, unbeknown to me
Thanks for that video. Been looking for something like this for a while, so I was pleased to follow your link and grab a set. The bike pump looks good, but I also have a few gas bulbs in the pack to save a bit of time, although the bike pump will be a couple of weeks before it comes.
Thanks for the tip. Have had three flats in 70k miles on my current machine. Fortunately all at home, but still annoying. Been lucky I've never been disabled on my long trips.
That has saved the day for me once and from that day i never leave home without it
having had 2 ! punctures already this year handy kit
It's maybe just me, but all the money people spending on these kits and you have to have the space for it too.
I paid £41 for a year of breakdown cover. Doesn't matter if I'm in my car, on my bike or just a passenger in someone's vehicle, they come and sort me out. It comes with full national cover and onwards travel. For those who don't know: it means they come and get me anywhere in the country and they get me to my destination if I want to instead of taking me home. In the meantime they take the vehicle where I tell them to. What not to like on it for the price?
When was the last time you used this service on a bike? From what you said I would guess never. After a 4hr wait they will turn up, with the guy not realising he was picking up a bike so he probably won't have the right equiptment, and so it goes on. My preference is, plug the tyre and pump it up and be on my way 15 minutes later.
I have breakdown cover, but it is a last resort.
No way I'd trust one of those little plugs!
A trad tyre repair kit is nearly as small and the repairs last well even over rough terrain. The tiny bike pump is cute as a last resort but I prefer the big CO2 bottles...
Thanks - I found the Screws at Amazon -
Great advice on how to deal with a flat tire.
I've seen these 'screw-in tire plugs' from random 'pop-up ads' and thought it might be worth buying.
That tiny air pump is definitely better than nothing and the small size makes it handy to store.
I would imagine that as the tire inflated, it became increasingly difficult to pump the gadget.
Tubeless tire dude.
@@stevesyncox9893You're a year late to the party Steve, but your point was well taken. (Accordingly, this dude edited out 'inner tube' and replaced it with 'tire'.)
My point, which you got, was an under-powered air pump will not inflate a vehicle tire quickly (or something else, like an inflatable mattress or raft or bicycle tire, which has an 'inner tube').
Great video thanks for sharing and the links to the products.
I find it difficult to believe that you inflated a motorcycle tyre with that microscopic bicycle pump….. co cartridges are a practical solution….
Could have should have done a demo video on the product. Maybe you still can since you are going to get a new tire. All you have to do is drive a screw into the tire remove it and then screw in the plug.
Nice. Will definitely be getting some. Thanks.
I also cycle commute to work,I’m forever picking up nails and screws.I also carry puncture aerosol on my moto .
How about holts tyre weld, seals the puncture and inflates the tyre in one go, works with inner tubes I believe
I wonder if the smaller cans for mountain bikes would be enough? The car version is a bit big unless you have panniers
Thanks ... didn't even know of this product 👍👍👍
I have and have used the type that has a rubber insert kind of needle fed.....but have ordered one of these as well because in the dark the other type is a little fiddly....thanks
I carry these as a quick temporary fix (but not tried them yet) in addition to the strings I have used a perm fix for over 20 years.
I have those also...haven't had to test them out yet.
Might work with tubeless tires but mine has tubes. I keep a tiny 12v compressor, patch kit and nylon pry bars, my wheels are mags. Also should not be but in real pinch and I mean real pinch a can of fix a flat.
you said the same thing three or four times without really saying anything.
amazing
I thought for sure he was going to say........A full-sized automobile! That'll get you home when your motorcycle is toast.
I made a hose that screws into the spark plug and has a Schrader valve on the other, turn your engine into an impromptu air compressor, it already is dontchaknow
I used to have one like that many....MANY....years ago. I think the difference is, the one I bought had an internal piston that would pump regular air into the tire. Worked best with an engine that had 4 cylinders.
Morning Mal, it's amazing how you managed to squeeze 2 minutes of information into just 7 minutes! 😂
Great idea but I'm thinking this won't work for bikes with tubed tyres?
No, it won't.
@@stevewalker2028 Many thanks
Before going for a ride, just put some sealant on your tires. As long as your tires are not torn it will get you running..
Neat, but they look like they'll pop out as the tyre flexes. I prefer the proven sticky worm repair kit (with a CO2 inflator).
I carry a repair kit, it has plugs and CO2 cartridges' to fill the tire.
You can grab a pencil case from a Variety shop for peanuts, ideal for tools etc. they don't rip.
Great info, thanks. BTW nice chain looks good.
Just ordered some!
Thank you so much for showing that, but you haven’t actually shown us how to use that device thanks
So, you say that you didn't know what to do after getting the puncture, yet you had already bought the solution and was carrying it with you..?
Only works with tubeless tyres though.
Neet little gadget, have you not seen the little gas canister for inflation of the tyre ? Much better than that little pump. And smaller.
They will only work on tubeless tires and that pump will take forever.
Why wouldn't you carry either the strings or the stop and go system plus a small electric pump, I always carry stop and go in my rucksack along with a small electric pump.
Can’t find them on eBay or amazon
Those things? Not a chance... Can't beat the bacon strip repair kits.
Why don't you show the screw being removed and the "plug" being inserted ?
Looks a good piece of kit when you're in a jam ! Likewise I've zero if any space at all under seat so this would be perfect have you got a link please? Steve 🙃
You have enough cargo space to carry the content of a full size fridge and you think this needs to be small enough to fit under the seat? All the gear, no idea comes to mind!
A fella could add a small, light CO2 inflator cartridge and save some pumping
would have been better if you had shown me how to use it
Yeah they literally just screw in just like a screw then pump the tyre up really simple
@stevedeamer3351. You have got to be kidding, right?
With all that storage why bother with an under the seat kit? Good kit though
the strips work fine as well tho
Would this be effective if you run tires with inner tubes?
So what are they actually called on ebay? Little kit?
Puncture repair plugs. You will find them all over the sales sites along with the bacon strip type. They work...sometimes. I will never use them again.
you need a decent screwdriver to install them. Be warned, they come out like a bullet a few km down the road if there's any damage to the tyre structure. I carry the bacon strips and have never had one fail. I carry a battery inflator, im too old to use a tiny push-bike pump, which is also next to useless if you have popped the bead off the rim when the tyre went flat.
Great for tubeless won't work for tubed tyres .
String and rubber glue is a much better solution, hardly any danger it will come out.
Good idea, shame I have tubed tyres.
Ist flat I had these things would've been a joke.😂
Why wouldn’t you carry a proper permanent string plug instead
I'm wondering how long it took to pump up the tyre with that tiny pump?
One whole day
I think this could be misleading....
How does the repair 'nugget' find the hole in the deflated inner tube?
Thank you
This will only work for tubeless tyres, not tyres with inner tubes
@@spency787 making that clear might have been a good idea!?
Dis it get you all the way home ...
Nice tip!
NOTE: This would only work for Motorcycles with TUBELESS tires!! Tubeless are easy to repair on the side of the road. Tubed tires, not so much. You still have to remove the tire and the tube. Patch the tube then re-assemble. Be warned folks. This is only good if you are TUBELESS.
Get a canvas bag before you loose all the stuff…..worn bags will eventually leave you open a creek without the paddle…
A proper tire repair kit does not take up any more space than this. Good for thousands of miles.
£20 buys a electric inflator size of 2 mars bars easily does 2 tyres on one charge
Just remember, don't keep driving on a plugged bike tire...it can kill you DEAD !
Wish I could unfortunately I have tube tires
Got some last year. Hopefully will not need them 🙏
Get a leather or dekron pouch and put everything in there
Wow arnt you the kranzle dude aswell
😂😂😂 yup
You can get little compressed gas bottles that will fill a tyre.
So what is the kit called, who makes it? You provided no value in the vid.
tubed? tubeless?
What if your tires are tubed?
If so, you are ...screwed. 😶
I appreciate the info but man get a proper kit and keep it in your pannier.
er tubeless tyres only
