Has anyone used this? I saw this in a Brit cycle magazine, and ordered it from Amazon. It looks like it would be a life saver in a pinch, especially, if like me, you are still not proficient in dealing with flats. It is supposed to inflate AND seal any punctures.

I've been using it for a few years. It's always worked well for me. I've stopped carrying a pump. I sell it all the time...No one has let me know they have been disappointed with it.
Don't forget you'll still probably need to take the tire off the rim (one side bead, anyway) to find and remove whatever it was that punctured.
But I'm curious how that works. Does it make the tube much heavier? Does it leave goop on the inside of your tire?
Seajay, have you had to do this when you've used this product? It seems like that might defeat the purpose of ease when you have a flat. I only want to get back to the car or somewhere I can replace the tube.Quote:

I'd still want to carry a spare tube and pump with me just in case though.
