Tire Repair Kit (Read 49 times)

Dodgeman YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 44 Wallaceburg Ontario, Canada	Tire Repair Kit 03/28/14 at 12:19:03 I've got the Repair Kit that has a reamer, and the needler to insert the strand patch, and a tube of glue. I know this is just for emergencies. What I wanted to ask here, is what do guys use, to store the kit on the bike. I've got a few ideas, but would like more input.

That kit is for tubeless tires. If you have a Savage with the stock wheels you have tubes in your tires. If you get a flat you've got to peel the tire off the rim and patch/replace the tube. A plug isn't going to work.

This looks like it should work:

As far as where to carry it, and the plug kit, I don't really have any suggestions. But one of the guys I shoot skeet and sporting clays with carries a shotgun and a hundred or so shells on his Goldwing, so I thinks there probably room somewhere Wink
