Default Emergency tire repair?
What's everyone carrying for emergency tire repair?
I'm seeing stop & go, dyna, slime kits and the old style sticky ropeplugs, CO2, hand pumps and mini 12V pumps.
I want to put something in the saddle bag and want reliable but not too big.
what have y'all had luck with?

I carry a can of sealant

and a plug kit

and a small compressor


and the hog roadside which is free...$20 upgrade for unlimited towing to nearest dealer.

most of my tire problems have been complete failures

I just bought a co2 kit from amazon that has it all for about $40. Bikemaster, check it out. comes in a nylon pouch that's about 7" x 4 x 2.5 and weighs about 8 ounces.

Ride On Tire Sealant and if that fails call roadside assistance.

BikeMaster, cell phone, Flo from Progressive, and a prayer. Many of my rides take me into hills where there's no cell service, leaving Flo just beyond my reach!

I use ride on sealant and have roadside assistance beyond that. Used plugs in the past.

Nothing. I've spoke wheels and tubes. There's really nothing I can do on the side of the road if I puncture or blow out a tire. So my AAA card if you will.
