Anybody ever used Vittoria pitstop to repair punctures?
Just looking to have something in the saddle bag as a quick fix!

At LD races I carry a tiny crank brothers pump aswell.
Dont foget to practice !!
I have a can of the seal n flate but have never used it the Vittoria looks smaller and neater?
I couldn't change a flat to save my life.

If the pro's dont use it then there must be a reason
What are the dimensions of a can of Pitstop? I'm trying to work out if one will fit in my saddlebag.
However, would you have to cut your tyre off afterwards? If the inner tube is full of hard sealant, that isn't going to be easy to get off, don't fancy having to cut expensive tyres.
Its diffcult to trust this product isn't it! No one has any experience of it.. I gues perhaps conduct a controlled experiement to test the stuff?
Stuck at work with a puncture. New puncture repair kit had no chuffing glue in it[:@].
So felt slightly smug that I had a back-up plan. Did what it said on the tin but it only managed to partially sealed a small hole (~1mm). Still had to pump tyre up 4 times on the way home (7 miles) with a tiddly emergency pump.
So now I always carry a spare tube - levers - CO2 cannister (Moonshine - CO2 is the business! Quick so easy!)
I always check new repair kit has both glue and patches in it!
But since using 'Slime' in my tubes I haven't had one flat - lots of punctures but all have self sealed.
