Does anyone know of a sealant-based puncture repair kit that's compact enough fit in a small saddle bag? Something you can use to fix a puncture long enough to get you home?
I really could have used one last Friday. I flatted while descending Mount Hamilton Road, about 12 miles from the bottom. I tried replacing the tube, but since the tire is extremely hard to install, I ended up pinching the spare tube. With no cell phone coverage, I was stuck there until some good Samaritan passed by and picked me up in his car.
If only I had a small sealant repair kit, I almost certainly could have fixed the original puncture and made it back to the bottom.
Searching online, I found this
GUP combination sealant and inflator, but it's quite large, and I already carry a CO2 inflator.
The Slime company says it takes about 3 ounces of their sealant to repair a road tube, but their
smallest container is 8 ounces. Too big for my saddle bag.
Any others?
Odd that there doesn't seem to be a smaller sealant container.
