Tools - Lubes - Repair » Puncture / Tyre Repair
Puncture repair kits and tyre boots are another bit of kit you just can't ride without having in your bag. There is now a bigger range of puncture repair kits available than ever including the classic repair kit you used as a kid. If you don't fancy sitting at the side of the road waiting for the rubber solution to go off, try the Park or leeches kit. Just rough up the tube and stick it on, done.
Just in case you slash the side wall of your tyre it's worth carrying the Park tyre repair kit or tyre boots. These can save you from a long walk back to the car. Not only that but they can be used to repair your jacket should you tear it in a crash. Last but not least remember the tyre levers, its OK passing the man test and getting the tyre off in the shed but when you are knackered, the tyre is muddy and you cant feel your hands as its -8! This is when they save the day.
