Review on 🚲 Genuine Innovations Tubeless Bicycle Tire Repair Kit with Bacon, Black - Optimal for Enhanced SEO by Paul Ruberto

You need it. - Sports

If you ride a mountain bike, you need to have one of these kits with you. Let me repeat: you, yes YOU, MUST wear one of these. Even if you're not into high-speed trail racing, you need one of these. Even if you have a tubeless bike, you need to buy one. Trust me, nothing is more annoying than being out in the field having the time of your life when you hear that horrible hiss. I heard that a few days ago while trying to jump a curb on my mountain bike. Too soon, I stank too badly, and instead of gracefully leaping onto the curb and rolling on, I slammed my rear wheel into the corner of the curb with the force of a thousand suns. I have two holes, one in the center of the tread and the other in the sidewall. I didn't have any kit with me at the time, so instead of quickly patching it up and gently rolling home, I had to walk/carry my bike the two miles home. What was supposed to be an 1 or 2 hour brisk walk ended up being 3 1/2 hours, I skipped dinner and had to talk to my former classmates. In other words, the evening is ruined. These little strips are essentially rubber glue and fibers that you punch through a hole and fill in the gaps. They are TACKY and I mean business. As long as the hole isn't huge, they will hunt you down and give you enough time to return home. They are far from being a permanent solution and are not intended to be used as such. But for what they are, they work well. Don't waste your money on a more expensive kit - you won't find anything else out there. This set has everything you need at the best price on Revain.
