yip i used this a few years ago cant really tell if it worked through scratch
well what i mean is i never had a puncture for something like 18 months then one day it just went flat almost instantly it give the impression as if every puncture i,d had in the past 18 months give out at the same time Laughing
I suppose it came to the end of its shelf life?

Before. I use it, but like Steve says, not sure if it actually works or have just been lucky to have no punctures.
MRM in Risca were doing Golden Tyre mooses for £60 a few weeks ago, though.

the only thing i can see with this shep is that it repairs upto 3mm, when you have a puncture, youre not going to know if its bigger than this, put it in the tube, find it doesnt fill it, then have to still take the wheel and tyre off and still have to carry a spare tube, levers etc.

im going to try and double up my tubes i think!

It goes in the tube before you ride and fills holes upto 3mm as they occur.
Only sure fire way to avoid carrying tyre levers etc is to fit mouses.
