Re: Which puncture repair kit?

I've used that Rep & Air one twice and both times it's been excellent. Recommended.

Re: Which puncture repair kit?

I've used the Rep&Air and the plug outlasted the tyre (i.e. was still good when the tread ran out)
Last time a used it the plugs split on insertion, although this could have been coz they had been sat on the shelf for 8 years, or me being hamfisted.
Currently have a string kit under the seat, with one of the strings in the back tyre - solid for the last 300 miles and looking good to go the distance.

before anyone shouts at me - repairs should only be regarded as temporary, and the carcass should be inspected inside and out by a qualified grown-up, etc
