My experiences are the same as Manfreds. In my case it asted about 40 km
and then the tube was unrepairable damaged. I also had to go about 5 km
without air in the tyre, to reach a place where I could leve my bike
over night ...

Better you leave your fingers of such sprays

So long

Walter

My expierinces are nearly the same as described below, the spray 
doesn't really help you, maybe for a few km but not for 10 or more, I 
still lost air presssure with the result that the tyre got completely 
damaged because I was far away from any kind of petrol station or mechanics.
I had to drive about 5 km without any air in the tyre (very bad 
situation, but the tyre was nearly worn out before, therefore it was 
not such a bad situation, I bought a new one)

kind regards

Betreff: (XRV) Tyre repair sprays
Datum: Dienstag, 30. Juni 1998 08:50

Hi all,

last weekend I went to a near city (20 km) and I meet a nail on the road
4 km before my target city so I took out 'Tyre repair spray' by Motul
and fill the tyre with that foam, imediately I sit on the bike and go...
after about 600m tyre was again empty, so I took that spray and use the
rest of it, sit and go ... after 1 km tyre was again empty. With a lot
of dificulties I pushed my @ to the, what a great luck, 1 km far fuel
station, there I fill my tyre with air (I fill it realy good to about
350 - 400 kPa), the air was running out the tyre very much, so I sit on
@ and run to nearest Tyre repair service, again with a great luck, I
found it after ~2-3 km.
They took out the tube and found 3 holes and little cut (abou 7-10cm,
not through, but looks dangerous) on it. Probably, because I found only
one nail in the tyre, the tyre itself must move against the wheel and
the nail makes holes all the way. We repaired it and I'm using this tube
till now (still I didn't find free time to buy a new one). But now I
carry also tyre changing tools with me.

My question is : What are your experiences with such a spray ? How
succesfull were your repairs? Is it worth the money ? Isn't it better to
carry with you only pressured air ? Is it possible to force the tyre not
to move against the wheel (not with a glue) ?

The guy in the service also told me that if I would have tubeless tyre
and I use the spray they will not be able to repair it - is it true ?

Bye for now

Vlada
