[QUOTE="squeezer, post: 105966, member: 2381"] You can pick up string type kits at Wal-Mart, though you'll have to get an inflation device from somewhere else. Get the type with the t-style handle instead of the straight handle. It can be tough to shove those suckers through the tire and the t-handle helps. On this issue... I ran over a fence staple or something similar in the Oregon desert once. It put two holes side-by-side in the tire. It was impossible to get a plug to hold (my tire went down 6 times that day), but since I was leaving a rally and other riders were passing by, I had a chance to try all kinds of solutions in a real world situation -- bullet plugs, mushroom plugs, fix-a-flat spray in gunk, and the string plugs. The strings were by far the most effective and I've carried them with me ever since. [/QUOTE]
