The simple puncture repair kit.

The guy who services my car is also a biker and an IAM observer. Last time I was there, he gave me a few of these or similar. I put them in the toolbox of the GS and forgot about them. A week or so ago, I noticed the car's rear, nearside tyre was flat! Bugger!. I jacked it up, removed the wheel and sure enough, there was a shard of metal stuck into the middle of the tread.

Out came the StopnGo but I simply could not force the plug far enough through. A lightbulb moment - those screws? I fired one in and the tyre is still maintaining pressure.

The car goes in for its service tomorrow so it'll be a new tyre, probably two, but I'm pretty impressed with such a simple fix!

Thank you for that Peter - just ordered one. :thumb2
 
If you have to use one, make sure you don't screw it in too far Bob. (Wee tip from the guy I mentioned above.)
 
I have stop n go kit, a sticky string kit and used to have those as well. Each works well in individual circumstances. No kit is a one shot fix for all punctures.
