Tire Plug kit and small compressor
#21
I've been carrying a small Slime air compressor with a built in pressure gauge . Only had to use it once . I bought a tire repair kit with plugs and tools to do the job , but after seeing the Stop and Go mushroom plug kit , I will going shopping to see if I can find one before I head out on my trip . It looks so much easier to use and the mushrooms look as thought they would do a better job at plugging the hole instead of the " rope " which can get pretty messy during install .
Gotta love this forum !

I also ordered the mushroom kit because of this thread.

Sorry I'm late with this , yes , I love this pump . It didn't take very long , about 10-15 min to fill the tire from flat . It was easy to hook up the doohickey thingy to the valve stem , but I think I will be picking up the extender just to make it easier . I've never used the slime itself , just threw it out when I bought the unit . I bought the mushroom kit the other day , pretty expensive little gizmo , but for the ease of repair , i think it's worth it . One thing I learned is that you should run the pump every once in awhile to make sure it's not seized and to keep the seals from drying out , not sure how true this is , but I do it every spring , then I know it'll work when I need it .

I carry this in my saddle bag, very small with adapters, haven't had to use it yet, but I have it in case.

A good idea is to intentionally drive a screw into a tire at home just before you install A new one.... the tire is junk anyway.... and then fix it with a plug, and try different pumps & compressors to see what works for you ... the best way to learn is not necessarily up a Logging Road(or on a remote Nevada Highway) , the way I did..... that’s where I had the Co2 canister system fail on me.
