How To Patch Your Tire

[darrell]

Here is the tire kit I carry on the bike. I’ve plugged 3 rear tires on the R1200RS as well as Steve’s rear tire on the 2017 Ride-In (was 2018) right after we crossed the Beaver Bay bridge using this kit. Have also plugged a couple on the GSA bikes and helped some other riders. I’ve never replaced a tire I plugged until it is worn out. When I insert the pre-glued rope plug I twist the insertion tool 1 ½ turns to form a ball on the tire inside with the plug and then rapidly pull the insertion tool out. Never had one leak.[attachment=548][attachment=549]
