paiseh paiseh, another noobie question, how does the tire repair kit works? have to take out the tire to patch the hole?

 

i know when i go on cycling trips to malaysia, we do bring tire repair kits so i wondering if it's the same as the ones used for bicycles. :sweat:

for bicycles, i think what u're referring to is a tube patch kit....

 

the tyre-repair kits for bike tyres are different~ if ur bike tires are tubeless type, then u get those worm-patch kit. if with tube then best u get the foam canister type (which oso works for tube-less)

 

get the type that suits ur bike, and get the brand that people have used and recommend.

You can get it from any motorbike shop.

 

The kit consists of a reamer, rubber plug, hook tool & rubber solution.

 

Don't forget a foot pump.

 

Step 1: Remove the object which caused the puncture

Step 2: Apply the rubber solution on the reamer.

Step 3: Put reamer into the puncture several times

Step 4: Thread plug into hook tool.

Step 5: Push the hook tool with thread plug into the tire.

Step 6: Turn a 1/4 turn and pull out slowly

Step 7: Cut away access rubber plug.

 

The great thing about tubeless tires is that there is no need to remove the tires to perform minor repairs.

mine is a canister containing a fillant foam which will inflate the tyre while patching it at the same time.

 

good thing is that it's very easy to use (very good for a goondu like me), i dun need to bring an air pump (very good coz i very lazy)

 

bad thing is... it's not as lasting as a worm patch, i have to change my tyre a.s.a.p (and it'll be hell for my mech coz it means a BIG mess that he will to clean), and if u do think about it.... costs more~

All the above plus my wif:dot:

[belgarathc]

It's just a list. Ok la, I'll be honest. I have only traveled on a rented bike before and whatever bike tools I have, they were provided by the rental shop. I also never bring any camping or cooking equipment. I still prefer to sleep in a nice guesthouse and have a meal at a proper eating place. My pack is usually a 34ltr bag and a helmet bag (helmet included).

 

Those in red are what I normally carry.

Where can I get the container for spare petrol?

[ChaoPuzzy1968]

good morning

[ChaoPuzzy1968]

Good evening, time for dinner

[Mark C.]

just a thought, even we r fully prepare the necessity items, we must learn also how to use it, take for example: tyre repair kit, first-aid kit.

done that:dot:

[aalphaa]

travel light, watever u can buy from the 7-11,dun bring. Thailand n Malaysia got so many bike shops,tools/spares oso dun bring.

 

7-11 got palm-sized shampoo,shower gel,powder,facial scrub,toothbrush,toothpaste....enough for a few days' use. when leaving hotel/guesthouse,just leave it in the toilet, dun bring back.

 

clothes dun bring so much,coz 7-11 oso sell FAB washing powder at 5bht, can wash in the toilet bowl, but must hold the clothes when flushing away the soapy water.

 

bring a lot of confidence/faith when touring, scared this scared that u won't enjoy the trip.

 

somebody i know go for 1month trip all in 1 top box. oh yes, i forget to add,he has a pillion too.

 

Are you serious?

[Burnt]

dun mind i ask where to get those CO2 canister ? how does it pump into our tires after patching up ..
