    I have one in the back of Minnie - so far I havent had to use it in anger although I did try it on some old tyres at the back of our workshop and it worked a treat, how easy it would be to use with the wheel on at the side of the road Im not sure.

    I did read that its better to jack up the wheel (to locate the nail etc ) , but best results seem to be to remove the wheel and tyre ,check the inside etc , but as a temp measure it seems ok , as is a run flat tyre , mmm might save the tyre a bit , but then you need to get air into the tyre again ....sure as heel aint pumping it up with a foot pump ,thats for sure , so the next thing is an air comp !!!..never ending or what

    "CAUTION! When the welded seal on the canister is punctured, the canister's temperature immediately drops to -64 degrees F. Each canister is covered with a protective foam tape. Caution should still be taken not to let your skin come in contact with the metal. To AVOID FROST BURNS, always wear gloves. Only suitable for motorcycle tyre inflation."
