When Ethan Hunt rides a bicycle

The Weldtite Jetvalve Repair Pod is a new all-in-one roadside puncture repair kit. Many cyclists these days consider a roadside puncture repair as a mission impossible, but this formidable-looking cluster of tools includes an inflator head, two CO2 cartridges, two nylon tyre levers and self-adhesive patches helps get the job done quicker than traditional methods.

Rubber straps keep everything together in your saddlebag or back pocket. When it goes on sale later this month, the pod will cost £22.99.

The inflator uses screw-on cartridges and works with Presta and Schrader valves.

Most cyclists prefer to carry a spare inner tube rather than try and undertake a repair at the roadside, but the Weldtite Jetvalve Repair Pod includes a strip of self-adhesive patches which are a useful back-up.

A CO2 inflator is a quicker and more compact way of inflating a bicycle tyre than a conventional pump, but it can weigh more depending on how many cartridges you carry.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it

It makes financial as well as environmental sense to repair an inner tube rather than replace it. It has become commonplace for cyclists to carry a spare inner tube. When it’s cold or wet, trying to patch a hole at the roadside is miserable, but it’s worth keeping hold of the damaged tube to repair at home.

Our three-minute guide shows you how to do so without breaking a sweat! You can now get repair kits that are suited to your own type of bike. Inner tube widths and pressures vary so Weldtite offers a wide range of repair kits to suit, from a narrow profile repair kit to an 'Airtite' kit, for example. Also, some of the kits have tools included and become more or less complete roadside repair kits.
