Copped another foreign object in my rear (tyre) in a brand new tyre:rant:, and decided that this time, as I want to do some touring, and low speed non-psycho-twisty riding, I would go the repair route.
So I got myself one of these.

Not only could I repair my tire, but now, with the CO2 cannisters, I have the peace of mind of knowing I can do running repairs on long hauls:cheer:.
The kit itself seems quite good, and comes with a decent bag to put under the seat:thumbup:.
I've got a couple of weeks before I go touring to see if it reliable or not, before trusting it into the middle of nowhere:thumbup:
This particular kit comes with two 45gram cylinders, which I'm told will do around 30psi each in a 190 rear, and has the right angle connector so you can actually get the thing on the inflation valve.
Unfortunately I'll now have to take it easy for the life of the tire, but that's not such a bad thing. Will give my wallet a break from buying tyres every 4-6 weeks.
I'll defiitely post up a bit of a review when I get my next tyre:thumbup:.
