I'm sure there was a thread awhile ago about this.

At +R300 for the tool and each refill costing +R100 I"ll stick to the old methods.(+100 bucks to fix one puncture) :whistling:

Looks like they are using tubbies in the video

 

Although I am not sure I quite "get" how this works. It will work on tubeless.

 

BUT if it works on tubbies that R100 a pop to repair vs R1000 a pop for a new tubblie is a no-brainer!

Same method as what they use on car tires

Not quite, car tires are tubeless and uses a plug same as on mtb tires.

 

Did a litte research and it seems like a patch is inserted though the needle.

It seems to be adhesive on both sides so the patch will stick to the inside of the tire as you pull the needle out.

You then inflate the tube and the patch will stick to the tube ... theoretically covering the puncture hole!

Apparently it works on tubbies. but I would like to see proof.
