Flat repair requires multiple tools working together: something to remove the tire, something to fix the tube, and something to reinflate it. Lezyne's Repair Kit bundles all three functions into a single package held together by a neoprene and velcro strap. The kit includes a Twin Speed Drive CO2 inflator, two threaded 16g CO2 cartridges, a pair of Power Levers, and a Smart Kit with glueless patches. Everything fits into a jersey pocket or saddle bag, and the strap keeps components from rattling around or getting separated from each other.

The Twin Speed Drive inflator is CNC-machined aluminum with brass internals rather than the plastic construction found in cheaper CO2 heads. The slip-fit design presses directly onto Presta or Schrader valves without threading, so engagement is fast when you're standing roadside wanting to get moving again. Thread a 16g cartridge into the inflator, press the head onto your valve, and back the cartridge off slightly to release CO2 into the tire. The controlled release lets you meter the flow rather than dumping the entire cartridge at once. A neoprene sleeve insulates your hand from the cold that develops as the cartridge discharges.

The included Power Levers handle tire removal without the flex or breakage common with thin plastic levers. For tube repairs, the Smart Kit contains glueless patches that bond without waiting for adhesive to cure. The kit includes six tube patches, one larger tire patch for tubeless or sidewall repairs, and a metal roughing tool to prep the surface before applying patches. Glueless patches work through a pressure-sensitive adhesive that grips immediately once pressed into place.... Read More
