CBR-RR-XX-CESS Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 For all these years and trips I have yet to get a flat out on the road,( I should not say that to loud) Think its time to carry a plug kit. If I'm going to carry one I want the best,any suggestions? Jeff Quote
DaveK Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 I got a free one from Progreessive Suspension. CO2 Kit ! Quote
kg4fku Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 I looked for one at WAL-MART yesterday when I picked up a inner tube for the dirt bike. Couldn't find a single one of them. I'm going to try Advanced auto or another automotive type shop for one. Quote
SwampNut Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 My plugs are the tarred-string type from Wal-Mart. I carry the combo CO2/pump inflator by...damn, forgot the name, and my bike is 2200 miles away right now. Anyway my favorite dealer had them in stock for about $25 I think. Also sold at bicycle shops. Quote
Northman Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 I have the Progressive kit, too. Nice and small, comes in a plastic case that you can fit under the seat beside the tool kit and it's equipped with mushroom plugs, a reamer, and CO2 bottles for inflation. Quote
vetteman Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 i think carlos and i have the same inflator. its called the second wind IH by genuine innovations. it takes all sizes of threaded or non-threaded co2 cartridges, and doubles as a hand pump if you run out of co2. and i carry the tar-string plugs and a small tube of glue. you dont have to use glue with these plugs but it acts as a lube and really makes it easier to insert the plug.

CBR-RR-XX-CESS Posted May 2, 2003 Author Posted May 2, 2003 Thanks for the info guy's. What is a tar-string plug? I have seen the mushrooms. JS Quote
vetteman Posted May 2, 2003 Posted May 2, 2003 a tar string plug is a piece of string with some sticky shit on it. they are normally about 3"-4" long but longer sizes are available. when you buy a kit you get some plugs, a reamer, insertion tool and tube of glue. they are only for use on tubeless tires.

JasonW Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 a tar string plug is a piece of string with some sticky shit on it. they are normally about 3"-4" long but longer sizes are available. You also just described a tampon. Rich, what was it that you pulled it out of? Did it bleed? Quote
