Puncture repair kits
Anyone carry kits in case they get a flat on a ride out
I'm looking into getting a road side kit just in case I can fix it by the road side
Any info is welcome on topic

Re: Puncture repair kits
I carry one of these, used to use the snotty strip kit and compressed air bottles but this is much better ( used twice now ).

I have had success with those supplied by http://www.motorworks.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which are the gas canister and strip type. Unfortunately I didn't have it on that bike last night and don't think it would of coped with that rip anyway.

A good rip can be hard to handle at times ) great weather for the ride tho some of the b round was like a picture very interesting to ride through
Re: Puncture repair kits
carry one with me most of the in that famous backpack of mine.
had to use it last week for the first time after stopping at a cafe for a whiz. it was easier than i expected to do. took about 15 minutes in total but left an extra half hour for the rubber cement to set incase it needed it as it didnt come with instructions. using the 3 cannisters i had brought me up to 22psi if i remember rightly. then topped it up at a petrol station when i found one.
useful tip - when using it at the roadside, after taking out the offending item, make sure you plug the hole straight away with the 'boring tool'(?) to keep as much air in the tyre as possible.
