ray: that was the first flat I've had in 35+ years on a bike.
Before I started using Ride-On I use to carry this kit. I've used it more on other peoples bikes but it does work great, even on a 500hp/1300 lb Boss Hoss. nojoke

:agree:
Was that on a Spyder? I have used three cartidges on a touring bike tire, and still had to top off. Small compressor is another option, especially if you have lots of storage space.

There is no glue or anything, just a little oil to lube the plug going in. The mushroom does all the work.
Yes, my R1100RT needs up to six cartridges to reach full pressure. Three will get you down the road to a comperssor....if it's close. Real difficult with bike tires, the plugs work loose in the thin carcass...especially at low pressures. A plug is only good for about 50 miles on a sport-tourer, safely.

I would think the Spyder tire, at least the rear, would take more air. Less pressure, but a larger volume. Hate to waste perfectly good cartridges for a test. Maybe I'll have to bone up on my math and physics, and do some figuring.
Yeah, those work great, but there isn't enough room under the seat of my BMW to carry one there. Strictly a Spyder aid.
