NotSoBigBen Posted September 13, 2007 Share Hey ML I put em in and forget them! Got 1 in my son's bike and 1 in mine and he rode an 80K race last weekend and I been training with mine for a while with no adverse effects so I guess it's pretty much continue as normal.

mountain_lion Posted September 13, 2007 Share Thanks BigBen If you say it lasts, I will try my new kit and see if I can rescue a fairly new tyre, or is there a better fix to use at home with time and tools at hand? Did not have the kit last weekend so had to stick in a tube to finish Eselfontein.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanJ Posted September 14, 2007 Share How long do these tubeless repairs last?i.e. is this just a get you home fix and you replace the tyre asap. or do you keep on using the tyre normally? The same product is used to repair car tyres so you can literally leave it in for the life of the tyre. We use them all the time on 4x4 trips, would have been stuffed without them.

I FLY Posted September 14, 2007 Share I also have this plug set in my toolkit. Used it to repair the two holes made by a long nail in a back tyre in April. Tyre still fine and holding air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain_lion Posted September 14, 2007 Share I successfully repaired my tyre last night.Will see how long it lasts. I know the same system is used for car tyres, but they are much thicker, so have much more surface area for the plug to adhere to.Bicycle tyres are thin in comparison, so more chance of the plug working loose. Guess the Stans should take care of it then. Only time will tell... mountain_lion2007-09-14 06:56:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
