A tubeless tyre repair kit typically includes several essentials tools and components needed to repair a punctured tubeless tyre. These can usually be used for any vehicle with tubeless tyres including cars, bikes and motorcycles. Here’s a general list of what items might be included in such a kit:
1. Tyre plug: These are like thick strings made of rubbery substance that plugs the hole caused by a nail or other sharp object. They are usually used in conjunction with an adhesive for effective sealing.
2. Tyre plug insertion tool: To insert the plug into the hole, you need an insertion tool. This is usually a T-shaped tool with an eyelet end.
3. Reamer tool: This tool is used for cleaning and enlarging the puncture hole before inserting the plug.
4. Rubber adhesive: Along with the tyre plug, most kits include a small tube of rubber cement or adhesive that ensures a firm seal.
5. Pliers: Useful for extracting any puncturing objects stuck in the tyre.
6. Razor blade or Cutter: To remove the excess part of the plug sticking out of the tyre after repair.
7. CO2 Cartridges: Some kits come with small handheld CO2 cartridges which can inflate a tyre quickly in emergency situations.
8. Air pressure gauge: To measure the tyre pressure after it has been re-inflated.
Remember that a repair kit is designed to be a temporary solution to get you back on the road. After using a repair kit, it’s always recommended to get the tyre thoroughly checked and properly repaired by a professional.
