I use the Dynaplug kit for smaller punctures and the Stop and Go for larger holes. Both seem to work fine and have always lasted for the life of the tire.

Since you're leaving from Fraggle Rock, only Stop n' Go will do. |

I now have a Booster repair kit, with a rubber strand you use to plug the hole and co2 cannisters to reinflate, worked well couple of weeks ago when I needed it. But must say the Stop 'n Go looks much easier to use, will put it on my shopping list. |

Stop & Go for me. I also hung a mudflap on the bottom of my Avantguard. It protects the finish on my centerstand and blocks the pointy things that get bounced up by the front tire and ravage my rear tire. An inexpensive preventive for a long-distance endeavor...

I have the Stop n Go kit that includes an air compressor. I recently tried using it on a tire I had taken off. Drilled a hole and followed the instructions to plug. That was the easiest plugging I have ever done on a tire. The mushroom shaped plug looks like it won't come out and you use no glue. I let the air out of my rear on the bike and used the pump to fill it from the battery. Took maybe 6-7 minutes and the gauge on the pump proved to be remarkably accurate. Figured I'd use the kit in the comfort and reassurance of my shop for the first time instead of on the road.

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #9 Yeah, wise words - I did the same! The Stop'n Go kit is indeed pretty easy to use but still took a bit of working out, and I really wouldn't want to have been doing that for the first time on a dark and wet roadside!

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #9 Me too. But my pump is a Slime Pump. Works well. I also tested the kit on a worn out rear tyre just before fitting new tyre. Drill hole. Fit mushroom plug. Run pump. All good. My rear now seems to have acquired a very slow leak and last weekend I had to dig out the Slime Pump after 3 garage forecourt airlines succeeded in letting air out of my tyre instead of pumping them up. Saved the day (actually it was the middle of the night but that's another story)
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Boxerboy55 im Beitrag #13Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #9 Hi Bb55 - I’m curious do you manage to store the slime pump under your seat? |

Here is my tire pump and plugger. Packaged with the pump is a Dynaplug tire plugging kit. Both items fit easily under my passenger seat.
