[QUOTE="BigOgre, post: 1455119, member: 8712"] That HF repair kit shows only three strings in it. I believe Slime sells the strings alone in a pack of ten or more. Probably worth it to have extra on hand JIC. I also don't know if they might dry out a bit over time. Same for the cement. Extras of both don't take up much room. I second a plug-in compressor over battery operated. I bought a Motopumps Air Shot years ago to replace a Slime and it was a very nice upgrade. Designed and sold by a motorcyclist which explains some of the thoughtful features. Saw they came out with an [URL='https://www.motopumps.com/shop/air-shot-2']upgraded version[/URL] not too long ago which probably helps explain the higher price than what I paid. I also got mine under a pop-up at Americade when the company was fairly new so most likely a show price discount too. Just remembered, I used it to air up my truck tires once or twice and it handled that task admirably. From about 12 psi up to 36 without any drama. [/QUOTE]
