ARB Speedy Seal

[BogMonster]

Have had an ARB Speedy Seal puncture repair kit for a few years now, brilliant item which has saved me a lot of inconvenience and cost, but I am nearly out of the rubber string.

The ARB kit has been very good and have had very few repeat problems with items up to about the size of a 6" nail in the tyre. Those that have failed have normally been optimistic repairs - through the shoulder of the tyre or similar, where I had doubts that it would be effective at the time of repair.

I cannot see anywhere selling the genuine Speedy Seal strings in the UK - they are available from the US but very expensive - any feedback on whether it is worth getting these or are any of the Ebay cheapies just as good in practice? I have ordered some more generic repair strings off Ebay but not sure if they will be any good.

Not sure about the eBay stuff, not tried that. I normally get mine from the local agricultural tyre repair place, they sell it by the bag in both car and motorbike sizes. Probably around 50 strips for less than a tenner.

Surely the place that your bought your original kit also sells the refill kits - or should be able to get them - here in Oz I just go to the ARB store and get them off the shelf.

I take it you do not have ARB stores in the UK.

No they don't, and I'm not in the UK but it's easier/cheaper to order from there rather than other countries.
