Is the gun kit relatively easy to use?
That is the one I have. it works very well but I poke a hole in one of my tires when I am getting ready to mount new tires so I can give it a practice run once a year.

I bought one before me and a buddy went on a 3600 mile ride in August. Used it the first day and rode 150 miles on a plugged tire. No problems but kept thinking my tire was going flat. Good product and if your on a group ride, good idea for some one to have one. Had a hard time finding the bigger Co2 replacement cartridges. Ended up buying some even bigger ones at Big 5, cheaper too, used for paint ball guns.

Default co2 inflators and plugs

I have had excellent results in the past with Genuine Innovation products.

I have have had situations where the mushroom plugs would not seal but I was able to get an air tight seal using sticky worms. I usually carry both seeing as how a few sticky worms and a small tube of sealant easily fits in the Tire Plugger kit.

I used a plug on my rear tire and put an additional 5000 miles on that tire without incident. I wouldn't replace a tire just because it has a plug in it.

I used one of my co2 cartridges a few weeks ago because a buddy had a real low front tire in the middle of nowhere. They work well. I found replacement cartridges on ebay. I bought 15 of them for about 30 bucks.

I have one of those kits as well and have been very happy with it. I plugged a rear tire on my Ultra and was able to get 5000 more miles on it. Freeway speeds every day. Granted, I checked the air pressure quite a bit for the first couple weeks but as time went on, it continued to hold.

When I had the tire replaced from having no tread left, it was still holding.

Take care,
Dave

Thanks


Had 2 flats within a week and bought the kit and Slime Compressor so must be a good thing to have handy no flats since .. (pounding on wood)
