 Tyre repair kits. - VxFan
There seems to be quite a variety on the market, all claiming to do the same job.

eg - www.amazon.co.uk/Tubeless-Tire-Tyre-Puncture-Repair/dp/B0031Q198W (n.b. other kits are also available elsewhere)

Has anyone used one, and if so with what level of sucess?

Reason I ask is because I have had a slow puncture for 2 or 3 weeks and at the weekend I discovered a nail in one of the tyres.

New tyres on order as they've only got around 2 or 3,000 miles left on them, but was wondering how effective these kits are?

1. Do they make a permanent repair, or is it purely a "get you home or to a garage" repair?
2. If the puncture is near the edge of the the tyre, most garages will not repair it (as in the case of mine). Would the same apply for these kits too?
