Summer means lots of riding, as many miles as you can pack on and increased exposure to road conditions and debris that could result in a punctured tire or torn tube. There’s lots of kits you can pack along to help; here’s a few to get you started on your plan.
Milwaukee Twins Tubeless Tire Repair Kit
It’s hard to go wrong with this $20 kit when you’re stuck on the side of the road with a puncture. You get all the tools you need to plug a hole, plus three CO2 cartridges to get some air back in that tire. The instructions recommend you get the plugged tire replaced as soon as you can, which isn’t bad advice at all.
Lezyne Tubeless Insert Kit
If even a palm-of-yourhand kit is too bulky, look no further than this pocket-sized $30 kit. Made of lightweight, durable aluminum, you could even stash it in the end of your handlebar! Suitable only for tubeless applications, it comes with five plugs and the tooling needed to insert them.
Stockton Tire Repair Kit
Everything you need to get back on the road is inside this $25 kit, including CO2 cartridges, a reamer, plug installer, plugs, rubber cement, scuffer, patches, a knife, a valve core remover (super handy!) and even a pen-style air gauge. Everything packs into a handy case, which you can pop right in a saddlebag.
Trail Tech Tire Repair Kit
For $35, you can say goodbye to frustration and hello to hassle-free tire repairs! Works with tubeless and tubed tires. Along with the CO2 canisters, you get a handy insulating sleeve to protect your tender fingers from cold—but don’t forget to use gloves if you can.
Motopressor Puncture
Repair Tool
This tool reminds the MOA’s Wes Fleming of the venerable Swiss Army knife, and he endorses its use even at the relatively high price of $72. Easy to use and comes with all the tooling needed (including pliers to get that pesky nail out) plus a pack of sticky rope plugs for your plugging pleasure—as well as a handy nylon case you can put on your belt if you like!

Aerostich Complete Tire Repair Kit with Mini Compressor Air Pump
This is the smallest, lightest complete kit Aerostich carries, and for $87 all-in, it’s hard to beat. It might not be pretty, but it fits in the palm of your hand and has everything you need to get back on the road, whether you’re fixing a tube or a tire.
