worgeordie Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Do you mean the aerosol can with connector to tyre,so if you get a flat in the middle of nowhere,you can connect the can,it will blow up tyre,and whatever stuff is inside will also fix the puncture? if so i have seen them in Big C, or you could try car accessories shops. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminatorchiangmai Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Tesco lotus has it for sure. I have 1 in the car all the time. Make sure you take out all the remaining air of the tire fist otherwise it will blow up ( explode ). After repair you still need to get the tire fixed because the solution will only hold for a few day's. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 My experience with motorcycle tire problem is the inner tube blows out and the tube has a big rip in it... These spray repairs will not work in these cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terminatorchiangmai Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yes it is for tubeless tires. You can fix your motorbike or bicycle with it , but you have to put it in bit by bit and give it some time to expand. The canister is for car tires , so if you use all of the stuff for your bike your tire will tear open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellboy218 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 IT WORKS OK ,BUT WHEN YOU DO GET YOUR PUNCTURE REPAIRED THE REPAIR MAN WILL BE LESS THAN PLEASED WITH ALL THE GOO . I read before, somewhere, that you cannot repair a tyre once this product has been used, you have to use a tube. It might be worth double checking first. You can get other products such as Slime that you can put into your tyre at any time which remains there until such time as you get a puncture which it then immediately repairs. I have not seen Slime here but there are similar products available in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBR250 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 There is a product called "GlobXX" available at the small (but upmarket) motorbike shop on Huay Kaew between Kad Suan Kaew and the Yamaha dealer. It costs about 800thb for 500 ml, and the recommendation is about 250ml per wheel on motorbikes. It also claims to be ok with both tubeless and tubed tyres. The guys at the shop told me it isn't as sticky as Slime, so doesn't p--- off tyre changers so much. Their story, I don't know. I've tried it in one scooter (tubed) tyre as an experiment, hoping that it may stop me needing to pump it up every week. It didn't help. And I have had no punctures in the meantime, so can't comment on that aspect (or perhaps I have hidden punctures, and it is so good I don't even know!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerspace Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I used it once on a tubeless tyre, worked well although it is supposed to be very difficult if not impossible to remove from both the tyre and the wheel... so use as last resort. That said I kept it in for 3000km after before writing off that bike(unrelated) so it can last much longer than the short distances they recommend. I would also advise against taping a can to the back of a bike, did that and had it explode while parked sending gunk everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Airport Plaza head to the city, past Niyom Panich, until you get to a footbridge over the road next to a Post office. On the corner of that Soi. Otherwise Mr. Ebay!

mindabenda Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 You may find your wheel way out of balance and of course the hidden mess. I wouldn't use it but am interested in its performance. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxo1066 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hi, I used to work on Harley's in the UK and we had lots of customers who wanted it in their tyres, one comment on balancing is correct impossible to balance a wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Back in my reckless youth, with no money to spare, I used this stuff often. I usually bought 'beater' cars at the beginning of winter for $100 or so, got some better tires at the junk yard, and ran the cars until the snow cleared off the roads in May and I could get back on my motorcycle. I kept cans of 'Flat-Fix' in the car at all times, and used it often. I never emptied a tire before attaching the can to the nozzle though, and never did have a tire blow up. In fact, the can doesn't have enough pressure to even properly pressurize a tire. The directions state that one should only use this to drive to the nearest repair shop, but I never bothered with repairs... I'd drive the rest of the winter with the Flat-fix keeping me going. The can's advert says that the spinning of the tire evenly distributes the goo, but I never removed a tire to see if that was so. I'd just drive back to the local junk yard and sell the car for $50.

FolkGuitar Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Nice story but again relate to car use and not as started for motorcycles. Sorry, I've just used it much more often in car tires. But I did use it once on my bike. Most good motorcycle shops sell the small cans made especially for motorcycle tires. Holes in tires are holes in tires. As long as the tire is tubeless, and the hole is a small puncture rather than a rip in the sidewall, the canned Flat-fix works fine. I had a front-wheel flat in Georgia while on a 'backroads' ride from the Canadian border to Key West, repaired it with canned Flat-fix, added some more air with the extra compressed air (like this) that I carried, and was on my way in five minutes. As I had to ride back north afterwards, I bought a new tire in Miami, although the old one was still holding air. The only real drawback that I found was that the tires run hotter after Flat-fix has been added. Edited October 20, 2014 by FolkGuitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience was that it did NOT work. Perhaps my tube blew a hole too large for the stuff to seal it properly, but I went through two cans and couldn't get the rim up off the ground (on a car tire, not a bike,) Never had a problem using in on tubeless tires though.
