Safety Seal tubeless tyre repair kits???

[Taz]

Are these still available in NZ. I have run out of the dog turds and need to purchase some more.

Yes they are.

[Taz]

Cool. Now to find a stockist.

I noticed packs of replacement dog turds in SupercheapAuto today (appears to be a house brand).

I've also bought extra tyre repair glue from them.

Ring your local neighbourhood motorcycle shop. If they haven't got any they should know how to. Most likely they will have kits with the CO2 cylinders and all the tools. But they should be able to source replacement items as well.

any tyre repair place (yes even car places) should have these out the back, its probably the most used puncture repair in this country for tubeless tyres.

As long as people realise that these are strictly a TEMPORARY, and ILLEGAL, repair and the tyre should be repaired properly ASAP.

lol, who says they are illegal?

I hope not, they are strictly a temporary repair

Can't remember but they don't meet the NZ standard for repairing a tyre

so all the shops selling these are selling something that doesnt meet NZ standards?

fuck im going to take them to court and earn millions.

Thats not what I meant, I meant any repair done with these kits doesn't met the NZ standard

As far as I can recall they were made illegal after a fatality in which it was suspected the accident was caused by an improperly repaired tyre

edit: done a quick search and can't find anything to confirm that, I certainly wouldn't use them if I had any choice though

i went to download the nz standards for tyre repairs, but it costs money, so for the sake of $56 i will let you be right :niceone:

FWIW i used to work at a tyre shop and the dogs turds are all that were used to fix punctures for tubeless tyres, of course they were not used on the side walls or big rips etc. but that was back in the day, shit might have changed since then.

and i have never changed or had any problems after i have used the dogs turds in my motorcycle tyres, and i have been over the speed limit a couple of times with them in :whistle:

I went to do the same and decided for the sake of $56 I would let you be right

FWIW I still do work in a tyre shop and have for a couple of decades and haven't ever used them, I've seen a lot of dodgy repairs done with them which has put me off ever trying them, main reason is if you don't remove the tyre from the rim you can't check for damage on the inside

I gues if I was stuck out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and that was all I had I might change my mind though

[Dak]

lol, who says they are illegal?

LOL, I do, and NZ law, as above, I also work in a tyre shop. The only thing these are now used for is ATV and lawn tractor tyres. In an emergency sure, use them but don't just leave the tyre with it in, get it repaired properly for all the reasons Kickaha said.

[nodrog]

well there you go then :done:

[Taz]

Thanks all. They are just a "get you home" thing for me that is easily carried on a motorcycle. As for being illegal?? Who cares? Next thing you know they'll make speeding illegal:shifty:

[Katman]

LTNZ say they are reason to fail a bike's WOF.


Temporary fix-it only.

[Taz]

And so they should be. But it also beats pushing your bike home or having a ride spoiled by a flat tyre. Like I said above They are a get you home fix. Tyres are cheap and would be replaced once punctured (or repaired if you can't afford to replace).
I have used these for this reason for many many many years and highly recommend them. Still you could always use slime and then maybe never know you have a foreign object in your tyre?
