It would fill in punctured tube with some foam kind of material that is supposed to seal the puncture and help you ride the bike slowely to near by puncture shop. Thanks to this one of my SS run were destroyed. Not gonna go back to something like that. Here is why. 1. It inflates the punctured tube but you can sit on bike and ride. Got to either walk/sit on tank (if rear tyre is punctured). 2. Can ride only for a couple of km's. 3. It damages the tube. I got the puncture fixed and in next 2-3km's the puncture gave away. Due to the liquid in tube, it didn't help in sealing the puncture properly, even when the patch was heat treated. 4. So, with it as it is damaging the tube, why waste money in it. Better carry spare tube (that I didn't assuming this thing will take me to nearest puncture shop - but then RTR's rear was 90/90x18, that size tube wasn't easily available). Push/Ride with the punctured tyre and replace thr tube and ride on, a quicker and easier solution.
