Pros and cons
Schwalbe Tire Booster
Pros
- Seats tubeless tyres in a single blast — no compressor required
- Works with any standard floor pump via a threaded connection
- All-metal construction (760 grams) — no fragile plastic parts
- Integrated pressure gauge up to 11 bar with safety release valve
Cons
- At 760 grams too heavy to carry on tours
- Does not work with regular inner tubes — tubeless and tubeless-ready only
Rema Tip Top TT02
Pros
- Cold vulcanisation bonds the patch permanently to the tube — it will not peel off
- Six F1 patches in mixed sizes cover virtually every puncture hole
- The tin weighs 38 grams and fits the smallest saddle bag
- Rubber solution stays usable for three to four years when stored correctly
Cons
- Requires five minutes of drying time — not a quick fix on the roadside
- The solution tube dries out entirely once the cap is left off
