Hi,
After getting a screw in my tyre Friday (luckely less than half a mile from home) Ive been looking at tyre plug kits, the Dynaplug and Stop 7 Go seem the easiest with the string following till I get to garage or home. Any recommendations please, I thought I would pick up a small compressor and put it all under my seat. Or which is the best sticky string kit.
Thanks for your input.

I've only ever tried to use the sticky cord thing once, but without joy. I couldn't seem to get the cord into the hole or even into the insertion tool.
However, I've used the mushroom kit twice, once on a car and once on a friends bike. Both times with success. (Stop & go do a mushroom kit - https://www.amazon.co.uk/STOP-POCKET-TYRE-PLUGGER-KIT/dp/B003VE0ZL6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499684452&sr=8-1&keywords=puncture+repair+kit+mushroom)

It's worth noting that the little cans of Co2 aren't adequate for a car tyre - I used 3 and it was still flat. Luckily I had a foot pump and a petrol station round the corner to finish it off.

Yup, stop-and-go mushrooms for me. I carry a small vertical foot pump rather than cannisters.

The kit comes with a variety of stabby and raspy bits. To minimise air loss, shove the pointy bit into the hole while you're between stages.
