PEATY’S SEALANT TRAIL POUCH
This unique trail pouch has been designed to get you started with enough sealant to do two 27.5” wheels - and be the perfect emergency refill when out on the trails or at the races. Chuck it into your trail bag and use the filling guide to assist with topping up. The spout has also been designed to assist with injecting through a de-cored valve, or directly into the tyre - whichever you prefer! Don’t throw it away though - simply refill your old pouch from a 1ltr Workshop Bottle and you’re good to go again! RRP: $23.95 FROM: lustyindustries.com/brands/peaty’s-sealant
