I got a flat tire over the weekend and used a "cheap" repair kit. It was a disaster. Can anyone reccomend a RELIABLE Tire Repair Kit??

I'm using the Genuine Innovations Emergency Tire repair. It's pretty awesome. 16gram co2s, repair tools and a really nice controllable tire inflator. highly recommend it!

I always have a pack of tire plugs with me, combined with a the two tools required (rasp and insertion tool, preferably with T handles so its easier on the hands) and of course my trusty air compressor. I once had a hole so bad in one of my rear tires I had 4 plugs in the hole. I was still jumping the bike (wouldn't recommend jumping with that many plugs in the same hole) and didn't loose any air. They are very reliable and are yet to let me down

I found that air compressors are really, really slow. A CO2 is quick and gets your tire to something like 3psi in seconds. The more CO2 you use, the higher the PSI.
