My wife uses E45 moisturiser, in a pump bottle thing. It fits in a bottle holder, and the top pops right off. Cover it with duct tape, makes a good tool holder. I've got one with a ku65 and wiring in it on my backpack battery bike.Tool kit inna bottle _ That's a good idea.
I carry a hydration bladder in the backpack, so my bottle cage is available _ Now where can I find a bottle with a big mouth?
It's crazy isn't it? I fix more flats for others than on my own bike as well. It should be compulsory that a bike be sold with a repair kit and a pump, instead of a crappy bell that you can't even hear from your own saddle.All the others have been for folks I met on the road who carried no tools, and were pushing bikes with flat tyres.
kalhoff crankdrive, chain bust after 1000 miles,if I had a link on me at the time it would have saved wife a 15 mile journey to pick me up !Do you have a hub or mid drive and have you ever needed the spare link on the road?
Experiences of the seal and inflate aerosols seem to vary.I should have kept my mouth shut but yesterday I had a rear puncture. Although not crossing the fingers I do carry some kit but thought I would use the small cylinder of repair & inflate kit I had from Aldi a few weeks ago.
Apart from a bit of froth from not checking the brass to plastic adapter was fully tightened, it inflated much faster than an air-line. I needed a bit more pressure and so used the small foot pump, available from Lidl on occasions, just to 50 lbs so's not to over inflate. It got me 10 miles to home without drama.
Today, expecting it to have deflated found it OK so increased the pressure to 60 and went off for 25 mile ride. So far it seems to be holding up.
So next time I see them in Aldi I will get a few more, as long as it stops up of course.
Kept on meaning to have a look-see at my can but never got around to it, so I will also be remembering those instructions.Not having my looking specs with me I read the instructions later at home. It seems you have to give the canister a good shake and deplete all the air from the tyre before use. Didn't do the latter but gave a couple of shakes, so I will have to imprint the recommendations in memory, not very hopeful of that happening.
It is Hawthorne flailing season so be on the lookout.
Do you think this would work with a 'slimed' tube if the slime hadn't sealed the puncture?Not having my looking specs with me I read the instructions later at home.

I would not have known about the puncture if it had had Slime in it, it would have just sealed. Don't know how easy it would be getting Slime into a Presta valved tyre, I manage to block up the Schrader valves. And I think mixing the two inadvisable.Do you think this would work with a 'slimed' tube if the slime hadn't sealed the puncture?
You never know, the chemical reation might self-inflate.... And I think mixing the two inadvisable.

Reminds of The Likely Lads when Terry worries if some medicine he is about to take will clash with an iron jelloid he took earlier.You never know, the chemical reation might self-inflate...
And inflate...
