This saved me on a bike trip. I went from PA to Tennessee with my rear tire plugged. Then got a new tire for the return home. Great system that is well worth a place in your pannier.
I'm curious do you think you could or have you ever tried to use tire/rubber cement I'm the hole or on the plug head as lube? I always put rubber cement all over the regular kind of plugs before pushing them in it helps lube it to go in and helps seal the plug to the tire in the hole. Also it helps prevent air from being able to push in between layers of tire and causing a bubble under the rubber.
This looks very good better than the string system but does the kit not had a tube of rubber adhesive to seal it on the in side tyre? As for oil thats a No no this could come out? but with adhesive it sealed in place to the wall of the tyre other wise good job
I carried this with me on my bmw. Luckily I never had to use it. I did use it on my jeep though. For my bike I also carried a set of varied sized screws. For a quick fix one could just screw in a screw if your close to home or your destination so you aren't hurried or in danger next to the road while putting the plugs.
Instead of oil I would use rubber vulcanizing adhesive. Before fully cured it's slippery enough for the plug to be inserted. Overall I think this product is great better than the rubber rod tire patching kit sell at the auto store.
yeah that is what I would do too. I use the rubber cement on the string plugs and never had one fail but might pick one of these mushroom plug guns up and give it a try.
I've had this kit for a few years. No longer have a bike, but I use it on my truck tires, and it is so much better than the string plugs. In fact, I've used it to replace a few leaking string plugs, which only last so long before they eventually become a slow leak. I recommend you use silicone spray as opposed to petroleum oil, since oil eventually deteriorates rubber. Very clear video, nicely done!
They may not leak initially, but I've had several which began to leak after 1 to 2 years and needed to be replaced. They are not a good permanent repair in my experience.
I have repaired more tires in my 35 years than you can ever think about repairing and I can guarantee you that if installed properly a string plug WILL NOT LEAK! If not installed properly or if the tire was damaged in such a way that it shouldn't have been plugged then yes of course it will leak. A novice such as yourself probably doesn't know a repairable tire from a non repairable tire so i'm not surprised in your ignorance that you would think they would leak. Just because you didn't know any better and couldn't get yours to hold doesn't mean that none of them do. Some of us have a brain and know what we are doing.
We sell them at Bikes Built Better in Horsham, PA. Otherwise, any motorcycle shop that is a dealer for Drag Specialties or Tucker can get them for you.

Search this video on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/E0Xi-EWmwxs/w-d-xo.html it shows an internal view of these mushroom plugs being installed. The tech is using the roadside tool VS. the shop tool being demonstrated here, both tools are made by Stop & Go.
Works great on cars & light trucks. T-handles would make the kit bulkier. Remember, this is designed to pack on a motorcycle, not a stinkin' car. Hey, if a girl can do it, it's not that hard.
There are compact CO2 kits you can carry. On some bikes, you can run an air hose to one of the spark plug holes. And there are small compressors that can run off the battery.
I used the older version of this ie: (not the gun), for years no problems, went around Australia with one of these plugs in my bike Tire, mine got knicked out of my car so need a new one, so I will give this one ago,
@@stevefletcher9213 No dont use anything, you dont want anything getting inside the tyre because it wont get out, any fluid that can cause corrosion is bad and washing up liquid contains salt. If you needed it the kit would have it. The only thing that isnt included that might be useful to help make it a eprmanent repair is some vulcanizing solution to bond the rubber of the tyre with the rubber of the plug and that you put on the rasping tool and shoving in and out of the hole.
Jim The EDC Guy so easy even a girl could do it. Surprised this was in colour not b/w. Also surprised that it didn't attract many comments. Just you and me
I know! So crazy lol. I'm sure they didn't mean anything by it, but it definitely wasn't thought out correctly, especially with the current state of the internet with all these SJWs.
It's temporary at best and should never be considered permanent. The only true permanent repair of ANY tire is to dismount it from the rim, fill the injury channel with a pull through insert and a boot on the inside or with a patch plug combination repair. Literally no other sort of repair is considered permanent by the US DOT. Honestly it depends on where the injury is in the tire as well. With the tire being on the rear I would have fixed it as long as it's not near the sidewall but frankly if it were on the front then no way, get a new tire. If a rear blows it's much easier to control the bike to bring it to a stop but if the front goes you're screwed and your life it worth way way more than a $220 tire isn't it? I know it's frustrating when it happens but if you think of it in those terms you will see it generally makes sense. Besides on a bike you only have 2 tires where as on a passenger vehicle you have at least 4 if not 6 on a dully.
xmoroseguyx thats irrelevant. Stupid people do dumb shit all the time and get lucky. These are temporary repairs just like string plugs. I can guarantee somewhere on the package or instructions they say for temporary use only.
You definitely don't want to use any lubricant on the reamer - the purpose of it is to 'clean' the surrounding rubber of any foreign materials or contaminants, and prepare the rubber for gripping onto the plug - should be shredding rubber and not just sliding past. It takes some effort but you definitely don't want to add lube here. Best thing is for as much friction between the tyre rubber and mushroom plug stem as possible.
These are temporary roadside repairs because if you don't remove a tire to inspect the internal structure and integtrity then you are doing it wrong! Roadside repair to get you to the shop to have the tire inspected by someone who knows what they are doing.
Genghis Chuan Mine is actually 27 but multiples of 5 tends to be what people round to rather than being exact so no, it isn't amazing it is quite logical and predicatable. Good attempt at trying to discredit it but the fact is if you don't remove a tyre from a rim to inspect its internal condition then you are not repairing the tyre correctly. People have blowouts every day from incorrectly repaired tyres and this is one of the reasons why.
Actually genghis you are wrong. Just because you know what punctured your tire does NOT mean you know what it looks like inside. I have seen basic nail punctures in the tread area that have done serious damage to the inside of the tire. The reason for removing the tire and actually inspecting it is to find this damage and properly repair it. If the nail/bolt/screw went in at an angle there is a good chance that instead of a hole on the inside there is a split and if that's the case no sort of exterior repair is going to make that tire safe, it would need to be ground down and then a proper insert and boot/patch applied to the inside to stop the split from getting larger and causing more damage or blowing out. You simply cannot tell what kind of damage is caused on the inside of the tire unless you take it off and inspect it. I have been doing this for over 30 years and I have NEVER had a single tire I repaired blow out and cause any damage or loss of life. Sure I have had a few come back weeks or years later that started leaking again but the vast majority of them have been situations that really shouldn't have been repaired in the first place but if the tire wasn't going to be used on the road it wasn't a big deal. You really should learn what you are talking about before spouting off like a fool.
I brought the kit and carried it under the rear seat cowl of my Honda FireBlade motorcycle, The kit had the more compact and reliable threaded rod tool, Instead of the gun, I only used it only once, It would not hold correct pressure, But did hold enough pressure to ride to a garage for a repair that would hold correct pressure, Maybe I was a bit unlucky in not getting a real tight seal, But I doubt it, I think your right, It`s a temporary repair to get you off the side of the road
@@xmoroseguyx Tire plugs are like that. It they work they work. Sometimes they have a slow leak, in which case you take it into the shop. But if it works and it seals then there is no need to do anything else. Just like everything else in life. You start out with the cheapest and least invasive fix. If that doesn't work then you go on to the next fix, all the way up to replacing the whole tire. But you always start with the cheapest and simplest fix first. If that works then you're golden.
These are shit compared to the string plugs those things are super tarlike and it's as if they become a part of the tire. People have said they've had these come out
Our experience has been exactly the opposite. Quite a few of our employees and customers have ridden more than 10,000 miles on the rubber plugs without an issue. We have never had a rubber-plugged tire come back with a leak.
Bikes build better....these things used for a repair are for novices who just need to get to a repair shop. These are not a permanent repair and are NOT better than a properly installed string plug. The reason your shop guys don't like string plugs is most likely because they don't use them properly and these things even a monkey could do. I have to laugh at your use of "oil" on the plug insertion....nothing like putting a petroleum product on rubber to make it deteriorate. Also there is no bonding agent with this insert and the tire therefore it will have much more of a chance to leak than a properly inserted string plug as they have the bonding agent already applied to them right out of the package.
I've only used Stop N Go once and it failed to seal. The sticky string that replaced it lasted the life of the tyre. Stop N Go relies on a perfect puncture: A round hole that's perpendicluar to the tread. Anything else and it just won't seal. Plus Stop n Go plugs have lubricant instead of adhesive which means that sooner or later they will fall out. They're over priced crap basically.
I've never has success with string plugs in motorcycle tires. Every 5-mins air pressure pushes it out, then i cut it off, 5-mins later, cut some more until eventually it pushes the entire plug out. String plugs SUCK!!
String plugs are dangerous and are a temp repair only even for a car and especially for a motorcycle. Sure, you may have used them and not had an issue, but that doesn’t mean they’re preferred. The kit I got that’s like this calls for using vulcanizing cement with them, not oil. Using that and the mushroom is much preferred. The air pressure on the mushroom acts with physics to keep the plug in place in addition to the cement, which makes the plug a part of the tire rubber. The best is to do a proper patch though. But if the two, string plugs are least preferred. Even string packaging tells you it’s temporary.
This saved me on a bike trip. I went from PA to Tennessee with my rear tire plugged. Then got a new tire for the return home. Great system that is well worth a place in your pannier.
Just used it. Great product. Easy to use. Instead of oil, I used rubber tire glue.
I would use glue also..
Wouldn't the glue get all over the inside of that tube barrel?

+Gojira61> To you leave the vulcanized mushroom for the rest of the life of the tire, then?
@@anidiotinaracingcar4874 Maybe you can smear the shaft of the plug with vulcanizer during the "stretching" step?

I have this kit on each of my bikes and in my car that does not have a spare tire.

how much money should we pay for this kit ..?
Thousands and thousands.
How many mushrooms we'll be getting at the time of buying the kit ???
Looks like 25
WATS the price of this product... And if mushrooms are over.. Wer can we get new ones.. ????
the kit is $45.99. Comes with 25 mushroom plugs. You can buy more in packs of 25 or 50.
This works on cars and trucks?
I have used it on my car.
does this work on car tires?
Yes I've used this kit on plenty of car tires without any problems. One thing I always do is inflate the tire BEFORE I trim the plug.

Always lube your mushroom head before insertion

Nice

no glue ?
Not needed.
I would think more logical to apply rubber cement instead of oil😊
use some Vaseline with the reamer it slides in and out like butter
