I am touring Germany next year on my Bonneville and was wondering if anyone could advise me on what to take with me or what might work if I get a puncture. Obviously it,s not as straightforward with tubed tyres and I have been told nothing really works except a new or repaired tube. Is there actually any product which I can take and be confident using if the worst happened? DG Bland
When I had tubed tyres I carried the following. An Airman compressor that I bought off Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Airman-Com...1468861258&sr=1-1&keywords=Airman+12V+Compact A can of Holts Tyreweld form Halfords http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/garage-equipment/breakdown-essentials/holts-tyreweld-500ml Now I have tubeless tyres I also carry a Dynaplug repair kit. http://www.adventurebikeshop.co.uk/dynaplug_ultralite_xtreme?filter_name=Dynaplug
I fixed a puncture on a tyre with an inner tube with Tyreweld. But it's only meant to be a temporary fix and get you to a garage to get a permanent repair. It got me home, about 100 miles as I recall.
I had a puncture in France a few tears ago, no brakedown cover but did have a ' rema tiptop' repair kit. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, I wasn't holding out much hope. Pouring down with rain I gave it a go, got the tyre inflated and limped to or destination. Next day it was still ok, so just ride as normal. Even though you should keep speed down. Think I done 500 miles on it, and speeds of 100 mph+ Now all my friends carry one.
