Pocket Tire Plug, Tubeless Tire Repair Kit

We also carry the Pocket Tire Plug to patch Tubeless tires on the road. These tire plugs come with a few tools and will allow you to limp to the next bike shop for a new tire.

They are easily stowed with a mini-foot pump or other small tire inflation equipment under your bikes seat and wont get in your way that way.

We extremely enjoy this set overall, however it does not come with anything to cut the excess length of the plug off once inserted.
For that you will need to carry a knife or a side cutter that can trim back the plug. If you want to make it especially smooth before taking of again a little piece of sandpaper to even off the stump would come in handy. But don't do that until you have inflated the tire enough to hold the plug in place.

What we like about this is that it gives us the confidence that we can patch a tubeless tire on the road and get to the next shop for a new tire instead of having to call a tow which may take a while depending on where you are on the road.

The Plastic baggy contain the plugs.

Here you see it with the pouch for the tools and plugs.
