Roadside tire repair
I ride an Ultra Limited and still manage to use up about all of my available space. Im looking for recommendations on a good tire repair kit that doesnt take up too much space. Initially I was considering CO2 but now I think it might take up as much room as a small 12v compressor. Im just looking for recommendations from people with real world experience.

There is no solution for the factory spoked rims . There are spoked rims that are tubeless out there but I just couldn't justify the $$$ . Went with aluminum rims for that quick fix while on the side of the road instead of waiting for help .

To inflate the tyre afterward I have got this but the Slime compressor looks as good.
As MyFavRk I would rather be trying something and not be just waiting for the tow truck to turn up.

Save the space in your bag and just put Ride-On in your tires. Anything you could fix with a tire kit will be taken care of by the Ride-On. Plus, you can remove your wheel weights because it hydrodynamically balances your tires.

I carry this kit, but haven't used it. Not much larger than a couple of decks of cards stacked together.

Next time your ready for a new tire run a screw into it and practice using the kit. It does a good job and is pretty easy.
