Gryyp Cargol Puncture Kit

If you click on the link it has a video making it look astonishingly easy to do a temporary repair. Have ordered a kit to sit under my seat. Hopefully will be ages before I can tell you how I get on! Would be good to hear if anyone used this system?
I’ve never had much luck with that make. I think they are shite and over priced. 
I use the kidney shaped ones (can’t think of the name).
I haven’t used them, I’d guess they work better than a hole in the tire, but I wouldn’t trust them at speed, as the pressure in the tire will be trying to push the repair out, but… They’d be ok as a temp fix.

these ones are alright, as per BMW, but change the rubbers every couple of years as they go hard and snap when you try to push them into the tyre. Which is a bit annoying in the pissing rain on the A23…
What was the problem you had with them Mark? The video gives me confidence that even I could do a decent temporary fix!
I like the sticky string type best. Don’t matter so much on size or shape of hole. Bigger than a nail or odd shaped hole… Stuff in more string .
I’ve used the rubber plug ones a few times, they are fantastic if its a single, small puncture. Larger holes or double ones (hit a massive staple once) cannot be fixed with plugs. I will have to have a look at the string option as well, to carry under the seat just in case.
So far I’ve only ever used this as well… I like it a lot but it is a bit worrying when you first use it.
You have to jam it in and keep thinking to yourself “if I pull it out, it won’t go anywhere”. Wasted a couple of of strings when I first used it. Also I kept the strings under the seat and the heat over time made them go a bit difficult to get removed from the plastic they come in. nothing too major just a bit fiddly - fine if you’re in a garage but probably not great on the side of the road in the pissing rain! 
Hadn’t thought about the ‘larger hole’ dilemma… But now you mention it, I’ll only buy string again… now where can I buy just string and the cannisters of air to keep under seat?
Just buy something, though I suppose one that works is better.
My experience is that all the while you have it with you, you’ll not get a puncture. The day you leave it at home…
(I carry spare inner cables and solderless nipples under the seat and have done for years, so didn’t panic when I broke a clutch cable. Pity I’d taken the tool kit out when washing the bike the previous weekend.)
Surely you oldguys can fix it all with cow spit sticks and grass? 
I have not ad much success wit string - the strings didn’t behave as per the instructions. Maybe to old or something but they would not release inside and just came back out.
I have successfully used the peanuts several times and like them.
As for the screw in repairs - why not carry a variety of self tapping screws and a screwdriver? It is cheaper and will be as effective. It is what motorcyclists did before things like string and peanut repairs were invented.
As for compressed air. if you have a 12v socket, you can get a 12v compressor for less than £10 that is smaller than your fist. Lidl often do them.
7 quid on ebay…takes aaaaages to pump up a tyre, but works
I’ve got a Stop & Go kit:

Bought it after reading lots of strong recommendations on another forum including a few folk who’d happily done trackdays on tyres after plugging them with the kit.
Whatever kit you do use, I strongly suggest you practicing using it on an old tyre first so you are familiar with the procedure, 'cos it’s better than trying to figure out exactly what to do when you’re stranded by the side of a dark wet autoroute in the middle of nowhere, just as a bunch of hunger crazed zombies are shuffling your way… :w00t:
:w00t::crying::crying::w00t: Ummm…thanks for that reassuring advice Pat!
My flatmates left one like that when they moved out… trouble is it needed 10A and the cig lighter I have is on a 5A fused… kept blowing the fuse everytime I connected it! :pinch:
put a 10A fuse in it…
I thought you shouldn’t because the whole point was that the fuse protects everything else that may not be able to go up to 10A?
I haven’t got a clue about electricity other than it hurts when it hits! 
Well we know the battery can handle a 10A draw, we know the pump + wiring can handle a 10A draw…the only question is can the socket (or more likely, the wire to the socket) handle it? If it’s as thick as the wire on the pump, I’d guess as yes…and tbh I’d try it either way, worst that will happen is you’ll melt the wire or the socket.
So which kit should I buy, eventually? :ermm:
