    Thanks for the video Dana! I already carry a tire repair kit on my bike, but I just might be replacing that kit for this one. I like how the mushroom head seals against the inner liner. It seems to work a lot better than the rubber and fiber cord plugs that I've been using for decades. Plus this one doesn’t require any glue like many others do, which tend to dry out in time if not used.

    Nice and well done video Dana, I keep that exact tire repair kit along with a common gummy type kit in my rear trunk to be prepared for the unexpected always. My 1989 Goldwing 1500 had an onboard compressor system for the air adjustable suspension but when I moved up to a newer 1800 model the suspension was hydraulic so I purchased a small air compressor much like the one you showed, but since the battery was not easily accessible for using the alligator clip power connection I used an extra quick connect plug for a Battery Tender and spliced it into the compressor power cord wires (without shortening it's full length) to be able plug into the battery harness quick connector side and be able to reach both tires, ***BUT CAUTIOUSLY REMEMBER *** "you will have to": Reverse the 12 V power & ground terminals on the compressor quick connector side to have the correct polarity to hook into the existing + / - "Battery Tender" battery connector terminals!!!

    Thank you Dana. I have never seen a patch kit like this in the US. This one looks better than the ones we use here. I can't complain, because the simpler patches do work for a good while. But, once I have a puncture I will replace the tire as soon as possible.

    The first two viewings were, perhaps, not fully committed to watching and listening your demonstration on fixing a puncture, as my attention was diverted elsewhere. And very nice it was, thank you! When I eventually emerged from the cold shower and actually paid attention I found it very useful, as repairing a puncture was not something I had really considered (yes I know I should have) so many thanks for that and I shall be buying one of these kits this week. Love the vids, stay safe, regards.

      @@bikerstuff2 Very good point. I've been lucky to have slow leaks. I think I've had 3 in my driving years. No blowouts or complete failures. I'm usually able to get my car to the shop and pay someone between 10 and 20 USD to get it plugged and fixed. Current set of tires are about a year old and have no plugs. That could change tomorrow. ;)

I think any type of repair is no longer possible (in Canada)? I carry a big aerosol can of goop that plugs holes, inflates tyres, and may just get you home. Love the complex plugging tool; worth having one just for the fun! Thanks.

    Interesting. Long ago i helped a friend fix a puncture on the front wheel of his bike. It was only a small pin that caused the puncure, so the hole was only 1-1.5mm in diameter and this kit would probably be hard to use. We went to a store and bought a liquid all in one fixkit, where you put the nozzle of a gas and rubbery liquid filled bottle onto the valve and hold it there until there's no more noise. (It the liquid hardens when getting in contact with air, so when it pours out of the hole and the gas is mainly to 1 push the liquid out of the hole and 2 to pump up the tyre.)
    Important was that the wheel needs to be rotated so that the hole is the lowest point, and to not be shy in putting the nozzle onto the valve...
    My friend was a bit hesitant and so some of the liquid sprayed back on him when he put the nozzle onto the valve. So he handed it to me with the words "your idea" and i tried it an it worked. (always easier if you have seen someone not succeding and only need to avoid the same mistake)
    It worked well enough to bring the bike to a workshop where they ordered a new tyre and changed it. But it's a way messier fix than that in the video (at least for the person having to take the tyre off the wheel.)

    • @bikerstuff2
      @bikerstuff2  Рік тому +1

      Those spray foams work well but coat the wheel with gunk and can cause an imbalance, but they are fast and easy.
