    tubeless tyre plugs

    I used all my plugs from the kit repairing my puncture at the end of TLD. Hein Gericke don't sell the plugs or the glue separately, and neither it seems does anyone else. But, there is a bewildering range of tubeless tyre repair kits out there.

    What's anyone's experience? The kit I had was a "top tip" one from HG. One plug ripped going in, one didn't work, the 3rd and last plug did and is still working

    On the web "Dynaplug" look quite good but not for sale in the UK that I can see....Product Information

    but this one from busters is cheap... Tubeless Tyre Repair Kit Carded but not if doesn't work.

    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.
    Yamaha XT660r - slowly getting it ready for some big adventures

    I've always used the BMW kit. It's good quality so the plugs don't fall apart when you're putting them in. Tried and tested many times

    I bought this one ATV Tyre Repair Kit Tubeless on recommendation of folk here that had actually used it and it seems to be the same as the one you are looking at minus the bag and inflation stuff.

    Thankfully I haven't needed it yet.

    Re: tubeless tyre plugs

    i use punctureseal in my tyres, but my mate got a kit that was on offer in motorcycle news a couple of months back and hes used it twice already. both times the repair worked well, but he got them both repaired professionally when he had the chance. i was quite impressed, but at £20 each repair it was cheaper to put goo in the tyres in the 1st place.

    Re: tubeless tyre plugs

    I paid a bit more over here but it seemed a good idea, as for how good it is....
    that I cant answer thankfully but plenty of plugs and the air cannisters can be bought separately
    Loius for €18 the pack sits under my seat with a nipple repair kit inside.
    Just hope I never need new nipples
