KOM CyclingTubeless Tire Repair Kit for Bikes 8 Colors! Fixes Mountain Bike and Road Bicycle Tire Punctures

I chose this repair tool because of (A) its slender shape (vs stubby-shape) for the purpose of compactly fitting well with other tools in my pack, and (B) having a separate fork & a reamer. I picked bright orange color so not to be forgotten/lost on trail side. Without the bacon strips (x8 included; x4 stored in each side), the tool itself is 23g on my digital scale. Although you can't fish out the bacon strips out of the tool with your fingers, you can easily scoop them up with the fork or the reamer tip. I'd recommend re-packing the bacon strips (x4 in each side) for easy retraction (as shown in my picture): insert the strips with folded side near the middle of the tool, with strip tips folded inward, and line up 4 strips evenly around inside the tool. Highly recommended.

This is one of those tools you should have, but never want to use. I have never had to use mine, so I cannot comment on if they work. I can say the container ins suitable small. Easy to store. And has what I think is needed to patch a tubeless tire.Pros:- nice color options for the canister- everything included within the container- easy to store within the frame of my TrekCons:- noneWould I recommend to others: YesWould I purchase again: Yes

Used it to successfully fix two punctures on one tire only one day after getting the repair kit. I fixed it at home as the sealant was good enough to let me finish the ride.Some lessons learned from using the kit. Practice using the kit at home (maybe on an old tire) before you actually need to use it on road/trail. I completely let go the air in tire on first try and still struggled a bit on second try. The sticky bacon strip may not stay in the tire when you pull the fork/needle out. Push the bacon strip deep enough, hold strip with fingers and slowly twist/pull the fork/needle will give you a good chance to keep the bacon strip in place.Thoughts on this kit: reamer and fork are a bit too long (for at least road tire) and you may damage rim tape if you push too hard. Had to angle it to avoid hitting rim/rim tape. Having separate reamer and fork takes extra space in the saddle bag. Reamer/fork in one design seen in other kit would be sufficient and save space. The diameter of the tube is slim but also makes getting bacon strips out a bit difficult and folded strips due to space limit makes it even harder.I will keep the kit for sure as it's sufficient and fix appears to be good but I'm also start looking for another kit with following criteria:reamer/fork in one combo design for space savinglong enough reamer/fork length to sufficiently go through tire but not too long to easily hit rimwider tube diameter for easy bacon strip accesssingle side fork design if possible (or I'll cut it myself) for easy release bacon in tire when pulling out forkincorporate a strip cutter somewhere in the kit (useful for slick road tire repair)

Awesome small tool for riding! I bought another but the reamer and install tool were to large and I didn’t want to make such a large hole in my tire. The reamer on this one is 1/8 inch and works perfectly and fix was fast. My tire hold air again!

This is a well designed and engineered tire plug kit. I bought it so that I have one in my bike repair kit, and hope that I never have to use it! But it's light, nice aluminum design, and the color options are a nice touch. Worth the price if you are in the market....

I used to stay up the night before races praying to the gods I wouldn't pick up a flat in my tubular race wheels my sealant couldn't fill, a 140.6 lost to the winds over a piece of glass or road trash. I almost switched back to clinchers. But this tool lets me rest easy. It's the perfect size to fit in my flat kit. Weights as much as a ball-point pen. Reamer and threading tool are big enough to plug everything but a knife slash. I love that this kit includes packs of "loose" sealant threads. You can use multiple if you need and don't have to cram them into a tiny loading tube. KOM's kit also plugs your tire without leaving a metal tip inside your wheel, much better imo. The plugs can get kinda stuck at the end of the cap but I put a little electrical tape to hold them to the reamer/threader and have zero issues. I love it, going to get a second one to keep on my XC bike. I'll never ride tubeless without one again.

Nice product. Lightweight and rugged. Orange color should be easy to locate in my camelbak or if I drop it on trail. Had a little difficulty extracting the bacon bits (plugs) out of the case. Was able to do so eventually using the insertion tool. Might be a bit aggravating on the trail, but manageable.

First of all, it works. The tool itself is well made and compact.My problem is with the reamer. The provided plugs are too small for the reamer. Today's repair required installing a second plug.I think a better solution would be a smaller reamer. In the end, this tool is for bicycle tires not for a truck.I will buy larger plugs as a temporary measure.
