Designed for both mountain bikes and road bikes, the kit combines a dedicated reamer and insertion fork with eight sticky bacon strips sized to handle most common punctures. Built from machined aluminum and weighing just 25 grams, it’s small enough to carry in a saddlebag or jersey pocket while still offering professional-style repair capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the KOM kit stop a puncture while out on the trail?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process is simple and reliable: clean and enlarge the puncture channel with the reamer, insert a bacon strip using the fork, then reseat and inflate the tire. Sealant and inflation complete the repair, and the bacon strip plugs the hole to hold pressure for the remainder of your ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse the reamer to clear and prepare the puncture path for a snug plug fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread a single bacon strip into the fork for insertion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePush the plug halfway through, twist and pull the tool out cleanly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInflate with a floor pump or CO2 and let sealant smooth the repair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is this tubeless repair kit lighter and better for riders?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKOM Cycling crafted the kit from CNC-machined aluminum to reduce weight without sacrificing strength, making it roughly two to three times lighter than many competing kits.

After inserting a bacon strip, add pressure with a CO2 or pump and let the sealant settle around the plug.

The KOM Cycling Tubeless Tire Repair Kit suits mountain bikers and road cyclists who want a reliable, race-ready emergency repair tool that’s lighter than most kits on the market.
