Sahmurai SWORD Tubeless Repair Kit


Sahmurai supply a forked insertion tool and a reamer, both mounted on expanding bar end-plugs, allowing you to carry the kit discreetly. Six tyre plugs are provided. They’re fairly wide and among the longest on test, so you can cut them in half to double the number of repairs. The reamer opens up smaller holes nicely, allowing the plugs to be inserted.Once in place, they bond well.

There’s no tool to trim the free ends of the plugs. It’s expensive compared to its competitors. The bar end-plugs aren’t compatible with all grips.

Price $37
