Product Information
Full details
The Weldtite Tubeless Repair Kit is for cyclists with tubeless tires who experience punctures that sealant alone cannot fix. Its key benefit is providing a reliable, on-the-go solution for larger tire damage, ensuring you can continue your ride or journey. A potential caveat is that it requires manual application and might be less convenient than sealant for minor leaks.

FAQs
Can I use this kit on a tubeless tire with a tube inside?
No, this kit is specifically designed for tubeless tyres (Tubeless Ready and UST). It is not intended for use with inner tubes.
What is the difference between sealant and this repair kit?
Sealant is liquid rubber that automatically seals small punctures as they happen. This repair kit is for larger punctures or tears that the sealant cannot seal, acting as a physical plug.
How long does a repair made with this kit typically last?
When applied correctly, a repair made with this kit can be very durable, often lasting the life of the tire. However, performance can vary based on the severity of the damage and road conditions.
Do I need any special tools not included in the kit?
The kit includes all the essential tools for the repair itself. You will also need a pump to re-inflate your tire after the repair.
How should I store the repair kit?
Store the kit in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to maintain the effectiveness of the glue and thread strings.
Can this kit repair sidewall damage?
While it can repair some minor damage, it is generally best suited for tread punctures. Significant sidewall damage may compromise the tire's structural integrity and may not be safely repairable with this kit.
Troubleshooting
Repair does not hold air
Ensure the puncture area was thoroughly cleaned with sandpaper. Reapply glue liberally and ensure the thread string is fully inserted and seated properly. Allow glue to cure for at least 10-15 minutes before re-inflating.
Thread string is difficult to insert
Make sure the insertion tool is properly aligned with the puncture. You may need to widen the hole slightly with the tool itself before attempting insertion. Ensure the thread string is properly threaded onto the insertion tool.
Glue seems dry or ineffective
Check the expiry date of the glue. If expired or dried out, the kit may need replacement. Store glue in a cool environment to maximize its lifespan.
