Tools and Stuff for Flat Tires

Kits are pretty handy unless you roll a big tire like a 180 off the rim...

I saw someone get really lucky by removing a valve core and huffing a CO2 cartridge into one, but I think it was a one in a million shot.

They have no clue how to tow a bike.

AMA offers the MoTow service for $25/year. MrX might want to look into it since he's flattening tires about once a month. Good in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and New France. Tow <35 mi, all fees included, MoTow pays up front (you don't wait to be reimbursed), emergency fuel delivery, trip interruption service (<$100 for meals and lodging if your trip is interrupted due to an accident).

Can you tell I just got my AMA renewal notice in the mail yesterday?

HRCA has free towing - including coverage for the vehicle carrying your motorcycle. They will tow your truck if your bike happens to be in the back.

It's so true, its like Michelin abuse.

Maybe a good idea to look into that.

Gotta love Cycle Gear's MotoGard program. Too bad for MrX they don't have one back there yet.

That CH pump looks like the deal, so this might be a solution to a non-existant problem, but don't they make CO2 set ups for Schrader Valves?

Here's what I carry on my roadbike:

sorry to bump such an old thread but anyone find any good deals on a co2 inflater and plug kit? local stealer ship has one for 40..$

Can’t tell you exact price but you can find the none-threaded version in many sporting/hunting stores and it’s very inexpensive, you can only use it with certain inflators that I used successfully on mountain bikes.
Now can someone tell me how many cartridges are needed to inflate a rear tire just enough to crawl home?

According to a site I read today it takes four cartidges to get up to about 32psi on a sport bike tire

Thank slick, I think I’ll try it one day just to see how it works.
By the way what’s the Website?
