Repair options

Small holes (toothpick diameter) are easily plugged with a Dynaplug kit
obtained from ACH Industries, Inc. Reading, PA 19603-1417, telephone
1-800-486-8122 or
1-800-988-2292. The plug is slighter fatter than a toothpick and has a
pointed brass tip on one end with the rest of the plug made of a sticky,
flexible material. The
built-in adhesive is so sticky that no rubber cement is needed (none
supplied). The whole plug fits into a hollow (straw-like) tool with the
pointed brass end sticking out.
To insert the plug into the tire, simply aim the tool with the brass
point headed into the tread. Push until about half an inch of the plug
is buried in the hole. 

The hole is not enlarged when the DynaPlug is used; a small hole remains
small. No reaming tool is needed and none is supplied. There are two
drawbacks to the ACH
kit; it is clostly and it only repairs small holes. If you are riding
and manage to get a small hole in your tire, this is the tool to have.
If you don't, you'll have to enlarge
the small hole so that a medium plug can be used. 

On the right coast, Dynaplug kits may be available at Chief Auto Parts.
In California and other left coast areas, try Kragen Auto Parts stores.
The tool with four plugs is
about $15.00. An 8-plug refill costs about $5.00. (Whoever in San
Francisco sent me this information, please contact me so I can give you
the credit for this.) It is less
expensive to buy from the auto parts store than from the manufacturer
(see comment on pricing below).
