![]() My whole basis on the SnG kit, has been thru rider input over probably a 15 year period, combined with my personal experience going back just shy of 40 year now. I'm glad you had success with the tool/plugs when you needed them most, and I always say " anything is better than nothing" in an "emergency". they kinda have a high "inrush current draw", that mostly needs 10A or more to prevent popping a fuse.įor use on a C10, you can clip right to the battery terminals. That way you won't be popping fuses on the bikes system from the pump. that is only used for that purpose.I installed a fuse block inside my under seat OEM tool box, and just pop it open, clip onto the "hot leads" and power up. to make a handy "removable battery attached" hot point for the pump. Pick up a plastic lighter socket, prewired, and attach maybe 2 feet of 12awg lamp chord, and 2 battery clippy's. It ain't about money, it's about what works. Sorry, I really need to go take pictures and post them, showing this exact thing, I tossed all my Old plugged tires, but I WILL peel off the one, with 30 plugs in it, to show the fact that gummy worm, and glue, are not a joke. especially on the inner surface of the puncture, during retraction of the tool. Generic "gumyy rope/slime/monkey Grip" etc., plugs, with copious amount of glue applied, inserted into a tire being "pressurized" and when the "tool" is extracted, deposit a LOT of "bonding/vulcaniizing/glueing" sealants to the complete plug. you have to trust the adhesive impregnated in the plug.and it's ability to bond to the hole in the tire. Now I''l go further, and explain my "love" for the "gummy worm/rope/glue system" well, you buy it, use it, and come back and tell me it got you 500 miles back to your house. it was, because someone believed in "internet hype". ![]() I don't have to be the one saying how much of a P.I.T.A. I just always say "some" bonding agent (glue) is required if you expect to go more than 50 miles. I'm not dissing the Dyna's, or disputing them in any way.(in reality it's just a smaller gummy rope, with a metal tip). not sure if they went to a "glue" recently.Įven tho most people consider a "plug" of any kind, an inadequate, long term repair, the S&G products have failed miserably many times over, so much that people that spent that money, and had failures, call them "Stop n Go, and Stop n Go, and Stop again."Īnything in an emergency works, but some work better than others.ĬO2 cartridges are futile. Then, if you decide to attempt to intall a "rope" plug, the hole is contaminated from the "oil" that is prescribed to use on the StopN-Go, to make it "insertable".Īt least that was what they originally used. The plug is snipped off by the chords (steel belt, or polyester chords), and gets spit out. ![]() ![]() The "fiber" rope, also prevents the "scissoring/snipping" action that radial tires with a puncture, tend to exert on a small rubber plug, that HAS NO GLUE applied. they are a highly vulcanizable rubber, that when used correctly with the glue, will 'BOND to the hole. it's your money, so I can't stop you.įirst off, "Tar Strings" are not Tar. Please do a little more "searching here" before buying those. ![]()
