Thought I would give this a try to carry in my tail pack. They come with either C02 cartridge or an electric pump that connects to your Battery Tender plug; I went that route. The 2 kits weighed pretty close, although this one is bulkier. Neither would have fit under my seat with my PC5 and alarm. Possibly the C02 kit would fit if you didn't have all the crap under there that I already do. With the C02 kit, you are one inflate & done. I figured with the pump, if I didn't want to pay $1 to use a gas station pump I could use this instead pretty easy when traveling overnight.
I basically do not plug tires. Just not something I've done, being a patch purist. However, traveling far from home on a bike, I thought this made sense, as long as you have room for it somewhere. Just before I got my Metzeler's, I picked up a tack in my front tire... so, it happens!
Anyone ever used one of these on the road?
...on a separate note, just got my all black custom length Galfer SS lines. I'm super psyched to get them on the bike! They even included a very cool Tee Shirt. Nice!
