Product Information

Full details

The Crank Brothers Cigar Tyre Repair Kit is designed for mountain bikers and gravel riders who rely on tubeless tire setups and need a reliable, compact emergency repair solution. It combines a tire plug tool and a CO2 inflator into a single, sleek aluminum housing that mounts directly to your bike frame for quick access. While it provides an efficient way to handle mid-ride punctures, users should keep in mind that CO2 cartridges are sold separately and the tire plugs are limited to a maximum pressure rating of 40 Psi.

What is the maximum pressure for the plugs?

Troubleshooting

CO2 gas escaping during inflation

Ensure the CO2 cartridge is fully threaded into the tool head and that the adaptor is firmly seated on the Presta valve.

Tire plug failing to seal

Verify that your tire pressure is not exceeding 40 Psi and ensure the plug was inserted deep enough to engage with the tire carcass.

Mounting bracket is rattling

Check that the bracket bolts are tightened securely to the frame and that the tool housing is clicked firmly into the bracket clips.
