As I'm sure I've mentioned once or twice before ;) I prefer Puncturesafe which plugs the hole *before* the tyre starts deflating, so you don't wreck the sidewalls or have to fix it and then pump it back up again.

Fortunately I've not yet needed it, but it's always good to know it's in there (and, no, before anyone says, it's not the nasty stuff that tyre repairers hate, given that I got it installed by Russ's Tyres in Horndean :) )

Crafty plugger looks awesome.  Just need a few co2 bottles or a mini air compressor too ?
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one.  Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

CO2, definitely. Then add up with a bicylce tyre - it takes more time and effort, but it is small to carry.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.

There's more than enough space under the seat for a halfords £15, mini compressor, kust need a cigarette lighter socket attached to the battery if you don't already have one!
Some say...

Real men use bicycle pumps... and that is only because blowing with mouth directly can get your lips dirty and ladies don't like that!
