Hey guy can you tell me what pressure the co2s put in the tire[/QUOTE]
x2 45grm Co2 cartridges should give you around 25 - 30psi just watch it though when you are using these if you only have x2 cartridges, firstly only put in a little gas then re-check tyre for any more leaks before fully gassing up tyre. Nothing worse than blowing all the gas in to find another leak & no gas I did however manage to ride @ 100km on @ 24psi before I found a service station
I Used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass
Not sure what brand it was or anything but checking out Supercheap there are heaps of options. Reading a few posts on concours.org some guys even dismantle the compressors (read: get rid of the junky plastic cases etc) so that they take up less room on the bike.
PM Meanie if you want to find out exactly what he's got.
One option and popular worldwide.

I've found the Metzler kit a prick to use - mainly due to the plugs.
I'd recommend any kit that uses the sticky brown "dog turd" type plugs and has an insertion tool with a good T-bar type handle.
For tubed tyres you can either add Slime or similar from new,in which case the tyre will self seal any reasonable puncture.Or you can carry Slime and a pump and add it when you get the puncture.
You can use Slime on tubeless tyres too,although the tyre fitters whine when they demount the tyre and the slime gushes all over the changing machine.
I used to cut a hole in the tyre to flush it out before taking it in to have a new tyre fitted.
I couldn't stand the constant whingining.
I've got my own tyre changer now,so fuggem

Nice and small but it looks like you're there all day waiting to pump the tyre up.
The Metzeler kits are the ducks guts alright, but wouldn't have helped the poor bugger who had two flats poutside my abode on Sunday arvo. The holes were just too big for plugs to fix. Must have run over a sharp stone in the roadworks a few K's Tauranga side of the abode What?
Good thing he didn't have to be home in New Plymouth that night...
ACC - It's where the Enron accountants all went.
Compressors from the Warehouse cost about ten bucks, throw all the plastic crap away and they take up bugger all room.

We got caught on the Napier Taupo road with a flat. We used the repair kit shown and it worked a treat.
Two ways actually.
1, Try a can of pando or slime
2, Old school patch job, or new tube if you carry one
Option 2 requires 2 decent tyre levers and a bit of swearing. Plus without a centre stand your pretty much f*cked unless you can prop the bike up on rocks or bits of wood or something to get the wheel off.

I have a kit and have used it twice, life savers.
