Whats under ya saddle

[Slaninar]

I keep three co2 cartridges in my kit which I got with one of them temporary repair kits that are basically a bit of thickish ropey stuff covered in glue that you push into the now much bigger hole you have to create using the tool provided.
My mate got a puncture so I was well prepared... Bloody thing came out.
As for how many cartridges, first one inflated enough to ride if you fancied a bit of trials riding on a Fazer.. Second enough for scooter speed only. Ended up calling RAC out and pretending it was my bike. They use a different plug which worked ace. They look like a rubber/foam 3D shaped thingy and a blue adhesive.. And yes you can buy them on ebay  8)

I carry a small bicycle pump, along with CO2 cartridges. CO2 is used just for initial inflation - so that tyre sticks to the wheel rim. It has to be inflated to the proper pressure after one or two CO2 cartridges.


As far as kits go, this one has worked for me:

You clear the hole, rub some glue on the "worm", stick it in, then twist the tool 90 degrees and then pull out, cut the extra.
