Product Information
Full details
The Granite Suture Tyre Plug Kit is designed for cyclists who want a reliable and compact solution for on-the-trail tire repairs. Its key benefit is the integrated design that combines plugging and valve core removal, saving space and time. A potential caveat is that it requires a separate CO2 or pump to re-inflate the tire after repair.

FAQs
What types of tires can this kit repair?
The Granite Suture Tyre Plug Kit is primarily designed for repairing tubeless bicycle tires. It is not intended for use with standard inner tubes.
How many plug strips are included?
The kit includes a total of 10 plug strips: 5 pieces of 1.5mm diameter and 5 pieces of 3.5mm diameter.
Do I need anything else to repair a tire with this kit?
Yes, after plugging the tire, you will need a method to re-inflate it, such as a CO2 inflator or a bike pump.
Can I use this kit on road bikes and mountain bikes?
Yes, the dual plug sizes make it suitable for a range of punctures found on both road and mountain bike tires. The valve core tool is specific to Presta valves.
How is the valve core removal feature integrated?
There is a dedicated slot on the end of the tool housing designed to grip and remove Presta valve cores.
Is the tool durable for off-road use?
The tool features a CNC-machined alloy body, making it both lightweight and strong, built to withstand typical cycling conditions.
How does the insertion fork work?
The insertion fork is built into the tool and is used to easily push the tire plug strip into the puncture hole.
Troubleshooting
Plug does not seal the puncture completely
Ensure the plug strip is fully inserted and seated firmly. Try using a larger diameter plug strip (3.5mm) for larger holes. Re-check the tire for any remaining sharp objects.
Difficulty inserting the plug strip
Make sure the puncture hole is clean and free of debris. Ensure the plug strip is properly aligned with the insertion fork. Twist slightly while pushing to help it slide in.
Valve core removal slot is not working
Confirm you are using a Presta valve. Ensure the valve core is not overly tight or damaged. Clean any debris from around the valve stem.
Tool feels loose or components rattle
Check that the insertion fork is securely seated within the tool housing. Ensure all parts are correctly assembled after use.
