[QUOTE="Rickster, post: 93519, member: 2089"] I've been carrying a home made tire kit for years now. Ultraflate (from a bike shop, about $15) -- uses standard CO2 cartridges available most anywhere Needle, Reemer, and regular auto radial plugs (walmart). One note -- replace your rubber cement every year, it's only a couple bucks, and get new plugs (the gooey cord type) over time, both of these dry out, and you don't want to find that out when it's time to use it. Why? My thoughts? you ask? sure.... CO2 is easy to find (I carry 5 little botles), and I don't have to worry about the electric motor dying, no wiring harnesses (I have several bikes, so I just grab my zip-lock and stick it on the other bike) Why ultraflate -- it's cheap, and has a trigger so you don't have to expend ALL the C02 (you may need some to find the leak, then 2 to fill up.) Works fine, lasts a long time (I always KNOW the C02 will work, and don't have to worry about the compressor motor working) :yahoo: :yahoo: [/QUOTE]
