I am not associated with Motopumps in any way. But when I find a really good product I like to spread the word. For $13 this compact plug kit is a steal. On our season opener to Death Valley this year I handed them out to all my friends. If you don’t have tubes this is a really nice plug kit with great packaging. The sharp bits break down and are contained in a slick metal cylinder. The only downfall is that you must supply your own glue, but there’s space inside for a small tube. I’m also running the Motopumps locking GPS mount for my ZumoXT2 which I would recommend. They seem like a good company and I like to support them.

Yes, two weeks ago on the NorCalBDR. We reamed and cleaned the hole, applied glue, plugged and inflated the tire. Rode another 500 miles or so and it’s still holding. But the real reason I like this tool is the cylinder enclosure and the simple way it breaks down. I’ve struggled keeping standard “T” shaped tools from poking holes in my bags. They are awkward and usually two separate tools which take up more room than they should. This tool takes up little room but provides good grip to push the plug in when assembled. The rope plugs are nothing special. In my experience this type of plug usually works fine. YMMV
