Stop & Go Tire Repair Kit
 
For those everyday uses or touring guys on the boy scout honor roll.

You plug it sorta like a normal plug with a different application
http://www.stopngo.com/products/plug...ketplugger.pdf

But what it's doing when you screw in the thing with the allen key, is pushes the mushroom head thru the applicator thing, and puts the mushroom on the inside. Keeping the plug from removing ever. The harder you pull on or the more psi you put in the tire the more secure the plug is. ALL with no glue.

The MC kits are what you want. With or without the CO2 portion or air pumps.

I have a bmw plug kit now but could give this one a look too, maybe stash one on the buell and keep the other on the priller.

Looks cool, but what happens when you need to use multiple regular plugs one of those punctures where a nail goes in way sideways and the tire plug tears it open more. most of the times I've needed to plug a tire the nails go in sideways. I don't see those mushroom plugs working well with multiple plugs.

Other than that it looks liek a cool system

Looks pretty slick - but maybe a bit large for a simple puncture and requires reaming & increasing the tearing damage like a typical plug (that ripping sound makes me cringe).

I've become a big fan of the Dynaplug - http://www.dynaplug.com/

Very small diameter, so it doesn't require enlarging the hole & further tearing the tire cords. Extremely compact too, if you cut off most of the big honkin' handle.

Good point and another great product there.

The prob w/ the Dynaplug though - it won't handle anything over 1/8" or so. Looking at the stop'n'go again, I didn't realize they had miniaturized the installation tool so much - I had seen the old gun-style before. I'm thinking a great kit would include the stop/go plugger AND a few of the dynaplugs, along with a mini CO2 adapter. I think I'll order one, especially since I'm planning several long solo road-trips this year - thanks for the heads-up.

Well that aspect does suck... That's the problem with this idea... you end up with 13 tools and 4 different styles of plugs. At what point do you call it good-e-nuff??

Hey man, I'm tryin to get all McGuyver here, and you're harshin' my buzz. :skep:

Nah - what I'm saying is a few Dynaplugs w/ only the tube-portion of the tool (using pliers or maybe the stop'n'go tool to push) would take hardly any additional space.

I just ordered a kit off fleabay, along w/ this Slime tool which is more compact than separate rasp/probe tools, with handle storage.

Should be able to condense a great compact kit from all that. Now watch me never get another flat again... :lol:

Keep us advised on what you think of it when you get it.

And sorry about killin ur buzz.
