GEAR GREMLIN GG170 Emergency Motorcycle Tyre Repair Kit

I originally bought this kit about 4 years ago, used it twice or three times, worked like a charm. I did not have puncture for about 2 years and lost the kit somewhere so i had to order a new one, this was my obvious first choice as it worked well previously. Patched hole is solid right after fixing the puncture and can be ridden without any worries. If you do run out of sticks or glue just get them cheap on eBay or somewhere, they go for silly cheap price and keep using this kit as tools are good quality and kit is very compact and light weight.

Handy kit to have. I havent used it yet, but it looks like everything is in working order and of quality. I keep it under my seat. It is bigger than I thought, but it fits where I want it so no worries.

Don’t often write reviews but this is genuinely a great product, first used when another biker pulled over to rescue me with his kit, purchased my own kit and have since rescued another biker myself, tools are easy to use and create a good seal that will last, only thing I would say is that for me the C02 canisters equate to only about 20psi in the tyre once expended, enough to get you to a service station or use two and finish your journey.

Small enough to be kept under the seat on the bike. Only had to use it the once thankfully, got me home without too much fuss.

Didn't want to leave a review until it'd been used in anger.I'm not yet making trips across the alps and Europe but do commute to and from work most days. Unfortunately I got a big nail in the rear tyre. Managed to pull out the nail using a multitool - might be worth adding some cheap pliers to the kit.The guys at work all watched over me dubious if it'd work. I only repaired the hole didn't use the CO2 as we had a pump. The hole was easily repaired and has held remarkably well. I've been naughty (ignoring official advice) and left the fix in place and kept checking it for any loss of pressure. I've put well over 1k miles on it and barely lost a psi over that time. Its a good seal that I trust - obviously use your own judgement as to whether a new tyre or fix is needed! I'd fully reccomend putting this kit under your seat.

Bought this kit about a year ago and stashed it under the seat of my bike, luckily I didn't have to use it until today. Patching the tyre was quick and easy, even though I had never done it before I was able to successfully patch the tyre in under 15mins, including reading the instructions and swearing about getting a puncture in the rain! Only complaint is the spartlets don't get the tyre anywhere near a decent pressure. One sparlet put about 5PSI in a totally flat tyre, which was enough to limp to garage. I suggest sticking a quid in the pouch to pay for an air pump to get you up-to a decent pressure. 100% would recommend.

Got this just in case and haven't used it yet, but all looks well made. Comparing it to a kit I used to own, I particularly like the right angle connector for connecting the CO2 cartridges. It has a valve to control the flow of the gas, which is useful as you only get one shot at filling the tyre and can't really afford to waste the gas. My old kit just had a tube with no valve, which is useless when you need to use multiple cartridges to fill a tyre!

I've never had a bike puncture but suffered several in cars over the years and thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy one of these kits. If I ever need to use it and it works sufficiently to get me home then I'll have to be a happy bunny but I will reserve judgement and do have some minor concerns. . . . .The adapter has two threaded sections, a gold-coloured one to accept the tyre valve and at 90 degrees to that, one to accept the CO2 cylinder. The threaded ring which attaches to the tyre valve is free to rotate within the body of the adapter, presumably so that the position of the adapter can be adjusted to allow clearance for the unit when mounted on a wheel which only provides minimal space. The gold ring does seem rather loose within the adapter and I can't see how it would provide an air-tight seal when attempting to inflate the tyre. Clearly, I don't want to carry this kit around for the next few years and then find, on first use the air all leaks out of the adapter when attempting to inflate the tyre and so before I store it in the darker recesses of my panniers, I will try and source a spare CO2 cylinder and run through the inflation procedure to make sure it will work when needed in anger. Other than that, the kit seems acceptable although I was a little disappointed with the 40mph speed limit following repair . . . this is, afterall an "emergency only" repair kit and when you get home, you are advised to remove the tyre and have it professionally repaired. Being naturally lazy, if the limit had been a more acceptable 60mph+, I would have elected to wear out my tyre and then replace but 40mph is just a little too slow to be acceptable . . . maybe that's a good thing!!
