    Tire repair kit

    I want to carry one with me, especially beacuse I do a lot of solo riding. Don't want to get stuck hours from home with a flat tire.
    Anyone have any experience with these?
    What works?
    Recommendations?

    a bit o' insurance....

    I've got the collection of kits from Stop & Go; I've used the CO2 kit #1090 on the road a few times but i've only done a couple of 'test' plugs with the Tubeless Tire Plug Gun kit #1075. they are small pouches for each... I carry them and the mc version of Fix-a-flat.

    for those of us without center-stands, i've got a collapsible stand that hooks onto swingarm spools.

    a bit of 'insurance' like these can go a long way in the middle of bfe!

    UPDATE bbg_insanity will run somewhere btwn APR-JUN 09

    I've used a tire plug on more than one occasion, and they worked very well, even with speeds over 120 MPH. Just make sure to check your air pressure often to make sure you aren't losing air.
