Emergency Tyre Repair Tools

About

A flat tyre does not have to end your ride. This range covers tubeless plug strings, T-handle insertion tools, round vulcanising patches, MaxiSeal witches-hat sealant plugs and bulk wick packs so you carry the right fix for road and off-road tyres and get moving again without waiting for a recovery truck. Choosing the right tubeless tyre repair kit The correct repair method depends on the tyre type, puncture diameter and if you are on-road or off-road. Plug strings and wicks seal punctures up to 6 mm in diameter in tubeless tyres and remain the fastest trailside fix. Vulcanising patches are the correct solution for tube-type tyres or as a secondary repair over a plug. Sealant-based options such as MaxiSeal witches-hat plugs combine a physical plug with internal sealant contact for a more secure temporary seal on larger-diameter holes up to 6 mm. Bulk packs let touring and adventure riders carry multiple repairs without weight penalty.
