Re: best place to store a 'tyreweld' can on a bike
Why tyreweld? Surely either a puncture preventer in the tyres or even a tyre on repair kit with some inflator bulbs would be a better option...
Either way unless you're in the middle of the sahara I don't think heat will be a problem

Re: best place to store a 'tyreweld' can on a bike
I have my Holts tyre can thingie in a wee touareg bag that stows under the front head lamp .. its black.. no heat probs.
Its very accessable no need to unpack  Thats for uk trips.. not liable to starve to death in the wilderness  long haul. carry spare tubes and a wee 12v compressor

Re: best place to store a 'tyreweld' can on a bike
I always keep it in my topbox, no problems with heat or anything. In fact, the instructions tell you to heat the can before use, obviously not with a blowtorch or anything like that

Re: best place to store a 'tyreweld' can on a bike
the only advice I can give is don't store it under your seat, I did that once and somehow the can released it's contents under there.
It looked like my bike had a STD

Re: best place to store a 'tyreweld' can on a bike
I keep mine under the seat in the little box along with tools etc. However as Sharrie points out, they can be prone to pop! I had a mate some years ago who dropped the bike and the canister exploded in his bumbag. Nice
I wrap mine in some high density foam stuff which seems to keep the can unmarked... so far. The other fave place on trailies was strapped to the front mudguard on a hi-rise mudguard.
