MaXalami Tube Plus Tubeless Repair Kit

MaXalami’s kit comprises a forked insertion tool and eight tyre plugs in two sizes (3x 3.5mm, 8x 1.5mm), which can be used to repair a range of different size punctures. It’s stored in a plastic tube, which can be easily stowed in a jersey pocket or pack. The applicator is larger than many on test, which allows you to apply a reasonable amount of force when trying to insert a plug into smaller punctures.

More comprehensive kits are available at lower prices. The tube isn’t as robust as the Blackburn or Dynaplug cases.

Price $21
