a crafty pluggef
Well thats all good , but how good are the air canisters ? My kit is probably 3 /4 years old , do they have a shelf life ? would I need all three to get enough pressure in the tyre to get home ? Anyone used them before ?questions, questions, questions.....whos got the answers ?

Ive been lucky with punctures but this week I managed to pick up an inch woodscrew in the rear tyre , left it in an rode home 25 ish miles , just about got home with 12 psi left........got up early this morning and thought I would have a go at repairing it with one of the two ŕoad side repair kits I have , one a crafty pluggef and the other a FOWLERS version of the same thing , used the fowlers one following the instructions and in about 10 minutes the jobs done , didnt use the air canisters , I'll save them if I ever get stuck in the middld of nowhere , I recently bought a SLIME compressor to use with the repair kits , connects to the bikes battery and easily pumps the tyre up to recòmended pressure , just a shame both items dont fit under the seat....I'll let the pictures do the talking but happy to answer any questions......well it is FOCU

I was speaking to a guy at my local bike meet today who said he used the plug type repair same as these, the repair bit was ever so slightly proud of the tyre for a few days after the fix. He set off from the lights one time a bit spirited like and it ripped the repair out of the tyre. I guess they are only supposed to be a temporary fix like, but I thought I'd mention it as something to bear in mind.
