Not really a fan of crowdfunding but this one seems legit enough I bought a couple.

https://www.indiegogo.com/proj.....10345991#/

Not a permanent fix but plenty to get to pavement and way easier than un-seating the bead on the trail.  This is such a simple solution Im surprised it isn't part of a standard trail repair kit.  Does something like this already exist and I just not know about it?

Pretty snazzy - being someone who has lost multiple tires from simple valve stems (possibly part of the reason why most our club runs don't allow metal valve stems : \)  I think this may be worth something as opposed to a 30 min vehicle up, tire off, break the bead, reset the bead repair. I'll probably order up a 2 pack as well.

 I do wonder if the rubber will semi rest and possibly be reusable a few times if not left on for days

This is one of the more legit crowd funding's I have seen.  The design make sense, they seem to have a working prototype, and if it doesn't raise the target goal you get a refund.  So unless the kid blows the investment money on himself (which happens occasionally with these types of crowdfunding campaigns) it is a pretty safe bet you will have the product by the end of the year.  If the product works then expect to see them on shelves locally in a year or so.

thanks Kris, seems like its worth giving it a shot.  pretty low investment risk for a cool product.  I think I might start a crowdfunding campaign.  I have this great dessert recipe i'm working on inspired by Greg "fun stuff" Bakken.  i'm calling it "the bread is in the pudding" pudding. thumbs-up

Mine arrived in-line with the shipping date estimated when I ordered.  They look and feel legit.  Now to toss them in my tool bag and hope I never need to use them.
