PatchnRide...have you seen this

[marzjennings]

The video makes it look too easy, but a small tool that can fix a puncture without taking off the wheel could be useful...

 

[EltonFrog]

does it help you find the hole?

 

[Beebo]

That's a joke, right?
It would never work in the real world.

JML strikes again!

 

[EltonFrog]

Apparently not a joke.

I remain sceptical.

 

[sheffgirl]

I too am sceptical, not sure I would trust it.
I just got slime inner tubes, so hopefully I won't have an issue with punctures though

What happens when said foreign object is still in the tyre somewhere? Did you notice how he covered up the massive hole in the tyre with his finger as well. Daft.

Their FAQs are oddly evasive, and the video showing how it works never says exactly what it does, and doesn't go close-up enough in its animation to see really what's happening. Possibly the coyness is patent-related but I would want to know exactly what's happening - the tool somehow inserts a patch through the outer hole onto the tube I guess. If it worked extremely well it would be great but I feel they're a little evasive!

Might be quite good for tubeless tyres

I wish that guy would stop throwing spent nails all over the road.

I like the look of that. I'd want to know how many puncture repairs I can make with it before I decide whether it's too expensive or represents value for money.

Looks good, I would buy it

 

[fossyant]

Gotta love snake oil.

So you've got a hole big enough to put that tool in - the tyre is dead also !

I thought that too - but I suppose it would get you home. He goes on about saving money on tubes! But yeah - if it was a hawthorn spine rather than a big old nail, could you even get the tool through the tyre?
