How To Patch Your Tire

I’ve plugged 3 rear tires on the R1200RS as well as Steve’s rear tire on the 2017 Ride-In 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.

Good feedback on the Slime rope plugs. I do know that the rope plugs are very sticky and I could see how the twisting would form the "mushroom" plug on the inside.

Yes I do remember you plugging Steve's tire for him, but it was Day 5 of the 2018 Arkansas Ride In. Smile Here's the video - couple of photos of Terry (RIP) in it too.
