Thank you for this great video very well presented by Lemmy who really engages the viewer and am sure has given a lot of us motorcyclists who have seen this more confidence in tackling a roadside puncture. Ride Safe. Regards from the UK

Lemmy, we need to talk about those tan lines.

Drive/ride on shoulders increase chance of picking up sharp debris! Diagonal cutting pliers can grab objects dug in flush with the tire + double as the "razor blade" to cut off excess plug. I always give a full turn after inserting the plug before yanking the tool out, insures the plug doesn't back itself out with it. Cold temperatures...need to get the plug hot and gummy first, be creative. ;)

I love watching content there the presenter actually knows what he's talking about and can present it in a user-friendly manner. Excellent video!

"Don't touch it"😂 ✌

Thanks for the demo. I'm sold on the kit you're using, just purchased it from your site.

I LOVE REVZILLA VIDEOS!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.

Great instructional video. Back in the day, when I lacked funds, those plugs were my permanent fix.😀

I would add a marking tool to your repair kit. Something like white chalk or a china marker (grease pen). Once the puncture is found, you can circle the location so you don't loose sight of it again.

Far and away the best tutorial on this procedure 🙂👍🏻

Thanks for this! Had a kit, just not 100% sure how to use it, got the phone out, checked out this video and 15 mins later was on my way! :)

Great vid Lem, love watching your content, keep em coming and keep the rubber side down 👍

Same - had these kits for years and never had to use them as either the puncture wasn't plugable or i didn't notice until I got home and just took the tyre to get repaired lol. Only time I've used my bike kit was when my wife's car got a flat lol. The bloody tyre shop torqued the wheel nuts so tight we couldn't get three of them off even with a breaker bar and a lot of effort, so I remembered I had the plug and figured that'd get it to the shop. Watching this video I may have been a bit overzealous with the reaming lol. But yeah, did it's job - drover to the shop and got a proper repair done.

Great job Lem!

Thanks Lem, that is some great info!

Love these videos!

Thank you I hope I never have to do this but thanks to you I'll know what to do if it does 👍

A compact bicycle hand pump works on tires... it just takes a while. Your pliers would be better at home. Instead carry a leatherman multitool. I never leave without one. You never know if you will need the needle nose pliers for pulling, twisting, hammering... or the knife to stab someone. Regardless of the need, they are handy.

I actually “repaired” a large hole in my tire in the middle of nowhere WBGV this summer. I put it in quotes because it was definitely a temporary repair until I could replace the tire two hours later. I had one Stop-n-Go plug and two gummy worms in it that closed the hole mostly. I was able to get about 15-20 miles before needing more air, stopping whenever I saw an auto repair shop to fill back up. Moral of the story, even if it doesn’t seal it, plug it and make your way to the closest dealer, filling up as you go!

Carry the tire repair kit and mini pump all the time. Got them from your favorite retailer

Had my first flat tyre yesterday. Slow leak so still moble. Nail had gone right in so couldnt find it. The guy tried to sell me a kit and i said Nah i will buy it when i need it! Will buy it tomorrow.

thanks. Ive learnt something new

Great video. Thanks

Great Video 👍🏿

Awsome vid 👍

Nice video.i would like to see a video about carburetor clean an adjust and cyncronie

Thank you!

Excellent video. The only things I'd add is with the reaming tool and plug insertion tool, buy a kit where the handles are METAL and not PLASTIC. Murphy's Law, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Those plastic handles will break JUST when you need them. Ask me how I know..... Also, scratch the pliers and instead keep a Leatherman or equivalent in your toolkit. Absolute frigging lifesaver.

Great video. I have the kit....reaming tool, plug tool etc as you showed....but no 'device' to connect the CO2 cartridge to. I always thought it connected t the flexible hose????

Top presentation Lemmy.. very very useful to know .. Big old Barge lol 🤣

Nice job with the video, it was very educational and helpful 👍 Just had my first tyre puncture and it was the front one. So how long will this plug last? Does the wheel need to be removed and sealed from the inside properly? Or will I have to replace the wheel? Also how many punctures can these tyres take before they need to be replaced? Thanks in advance 😊

Hagrid and his flying motorcycle!!!

I just used the slime repair guu and you know what it did not work. Right now going for the repair kit you just showed. Wish me luck.

thank you aqua man thank you

If you are a 200#'er, straight handle may be ok, but t-handle is almost mandatory even for my athletic 180#. Can double the plugs together if have a big hole, just run 2 at same time. Can patch car, semi, motorcycle, all same. Probably not the safest to use with high pressure, replace tire or patch from inside for long term and not marginal (unsafe as hail, fyi). Crank Brothers make a sub 100 gram, 6" long, .75" diameter pump for ~$15, or co2 work. Thanks!

Lemmy thank you so much for the video. I scrolled through the comments but couldn't find anyone addressing the fact that you left a little of the plug when cutting. Is that intentional I'm guessing or should it be cut flush? Thank you!

Thanks.

Could u do a video on tubed tyers

whats your opinion/experience on/with the repair screws?

I carry a bicycle air pump the size a large cigar. Yes itll take a long time to pump up the tires but it's much smaller than 6 CO2 canisters. I'm more worried about space than the time it takes to pump a tire.

You mention off-hand to replace the CO2 with "regular" air that is mostly nitrogen. I think that is because nitrogen doesn't change volume as much with a temperature change, so the pressure is more stable. Is that correct?

I've never seen a gloves tan line before :)

Ah Lem, I'll miss your vids

Thanks Lemmy . Well done. I talked to you a while ago with you about balancing beads with my Valkyrie. Could you do a video addressing your opinion. I think your view would help .

Any reason why the glue/adhesive wasn't applied?

Fun story: I ran over some glass from a previous night's truck crash on the highway. I used this same method, and believe it or not, rode home 1600km with 23 of these plugged into my tyre.I had to get a new tyre, but these are way more reliable than the mushroom type plugs on the long run home.

Muito boa dica 👍

Is there any suggestion of how deep you should push down that brown gooey thing into the tire?

Some soapy water from a nearby gas station bathroom or friendly residence is also a great way to find/verify the source of a leak.

Why didn’t you use the glue on the sticky strip before you put it in ,is it because you are replacing it shortly, or did your kit not have it .

If I have a gas station literally within a mile, can I ride the back without co2? Provided I get everything ready and plug it quick

Nice spit touch!

This works only on tubeless tyres or to normal tyres also ?🤔

Um, you forgot to put the rubber glue on the plug - it really makes a difference! Once the tire heats up an vulcanizes the rubber it will create an awesome seal... I've ridden my plugs for months until the tire was dead and needed replaced :-)

I have seen co2 cartridges burst at higher altitude a compact foot pump is a better alternative👍

Also heat - they usually are designed for -20 to 49C, so if you live somewhere the air temp can get into the 40's it's definitely possible the sun and engine heat will push them past that. For the day to day though they're cheap, convenient and a lot faster than a foot pump. I personally recommend having both and taking what makes sense. Just don't leave your spent CO2's by the side of the road! Mountain road near me had a lot of construction work last spring as they were extending a lodge, lot of guys got punctures and the bloody cartridges were everywhere for months

@jamesoren7238

Eh, it's really about pressure. So at altitude the relative pressure at the same temperature is higher because the outside air pressure is lower, and the same with higher temperature - at the same altitude, the contents of the canister expand and increase pressure when it's hot. So actually they act together - a hot day in the mountains is going to cause a much higher pressure difference than a cold day in the valley. As I say, I recommend both - horses for courses. The canisters are very convenient and easy when you're not in extremes of altitude/temp, and the pump is safer when you are.

If it's in the tread zone, a shop may be able to dismount the tire and pull through a combo patch from the inside after prepping the inner part of the tire. It seals the hole and applies a patch with cold vulcanizing cement.

how about tube type tires on spoked wheels, like, say on a Softail Slim?

@RevZilla

4 жыл бұрын

On the side of the road on a Softail Slim, you aren't going to be able to repair a tube. You would need to remove the affected wheel from the bike, then remove the tire, then remove the tube, then either patch or replace the tube, then reinstall the tube and tire, then fully inflate the tube enough to seat the tire bead. It's just not feasible on anything bigger than a dirt bike, so for a Harley with tubes, you get your bike towed to a dealer or shop. -DrewZilla
