The Weldtite Jetvalve Repair Pod is a new all-in-one roadside puncture repair kit. Many cyclists these days consider a roadside puncture repair as a mission impossible, but this formidable-looking cluster of tools includes an inflator head, two CO2 cartridges, two nylon tyre levers and self-adhesive patches helps get the job done quicker than traditional methods.
When Ethan Hunt rides a bicycle, he carries a Weldtite JetValve Rapair Pod
Rubber straps keep everything together in your saddlebag or back pocket. When it goes on sale later this month, the pod will cost £22.99.
The inflator uses screw-on cartridges and works with Presta and Schrader valves.
Most cyclists prefer to carry a spare inner tube rather than try and undertake a repair at the roadside, but the Weldtite Jetvalve Repair Pod includes a strip of self-adhesive patches which are a useful back-up.
A CO2 inflator is a quicker and more compact way of inflating a bicycle tyre than a conventional pump, but it can weigh more depending on how many cartridges you carry.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it
It makes financial as well as environmental sense to repair an inner tube rather than replace it. It has become commonplace for cyclists to carry a spare inner tube. When it’s cold or wet, trying to patch a hole at the roadside is miserable, but it’s worth keeping hold of the damaged tube to repair at home.
Our three-minute guide shows you how to do so without breaking a sweat! You can now get repair kits that are suited to your own type of bike. Inner tube widths and pressures vary so Weldtite offers a wide range of repair kits to suit, from a narrow profile repair kit to an ‘Airtite’ kit, for example. Also, some of the kits have tools included and become more or less complete roadside repair kits.
ETA insurance for bikes includes Cycle Rescue – our special breakdown service for bikes. If you break down or suffer a puncture on your bike and can’t get moving again, we’ll come and recover you.
Environmentally friendly cycle insurance
On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. How much excess you will be charged is just one of the things that varies wildly between providers. Another is so called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use this term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it. Read our insider guide to cycle insurance.
Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future.
ETA cycle insurance has a low standard excess of 5% (minimum £25) and offers a new-for-old for life – however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model.
For 25 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Cycle Insurance has you covered. We never devalue bikes no matter their age, allow you to buy your replacement bike wherever you like, replace stolen quick release components and handle claims in-house.

For puncture repairs on a bicycle, it should be a case of ‘have Weldtite Jetvalve Repair Pod, will ride’. 🙂
Paul Bamber
Great kit, want one, please
elwood90

Looks like a tidy bit of kit! Certainly better than the mismatch of tyre levers and patches I have at the moment!

Jon

Libby
Looks epic… Would be very happy to take one off your hands!
Matthew B
Interesting I will be sure to get one though the most important thing to patch a puncture is surely a bowl of water to find the hole hence why people normally carry a spare tube.
Nick
Looks good!
Fiona hunt
Brilliant!
Peter Gateley
Brilliant. Keeps it all together so you don’t have to search for that one missing component.
Matthew Goddard

Rory Harkins
Yes please. Looks good.
Richard Newman
Does Batman have one of these on his utility belt for when he is out on the Batbike?
plevyadophy
Yes please, would love to have this kit.
Craig Donnachie
Looks great – perfect for winter commute.
Nancy Townsend
I agree with Matthew B. You have to be able to find the puncture before you can repair it.
John Long
No cycling = no punctures! Oh, hang on. That jusy might not be the point of the “exercise”!
Doug Gallon
Good solution for this time of year when a lot of hedges are getting a final cut before winter.
Tim Earl
CO2? Not heard of global warming, then?
Greg
Nice for peace of mind.
Alastair
Looks just the thing, interesting idea.
David
You need a good repair kti – otherwise you might as well take nothing. This looks very comprehensive.
David
Tidy – will replace bits rattling on a ride.
Sammy
Having had to fix a puncture three days after buying a new bike, I reckon this would be really helpful.
Cheuk TANG
For emergency need. Just like spare type to a car. Definitely essential kits.
Stephen Conrad
Oh for a simpler way of dealing with punctures!
Alan Jones
Nylon tyre leavers? On a schwalbe? Probably not, but if you send one I’ll let you know if it works.
Clare Chick
Oh my goodness. This could be the answer to an old lady’s prayers (if Alan Rickman is not available)!
Keith Bichard
Needed one last week!
Lucy Jordan
Awesome looking bit of kit, it might just help me with my fear of punctures!
Darren C
Looks a neat compact package to fit into a jersey pocket, hope that the self adhesive patches are small enough for narrow road bike tubes, I’ve had issues in the past with them unpeeling with use.
Paul evans
Just so long as it doesn’t self destruct in 10 seconds this would go lovely with my bike repair kit
Francis Voon
In a puff it’s punctured and in a huff it’s Weldtite.
Will J
Haven’t had a p*nct*re in over a year but now I’ve typed this it’s bound to happen so you’d better send me this repair kit thing.
D J
How long can an inner tube be used for confidently? I have changed mine after a few years for piece of mind before a long ride but I wonder if there’s a number?
Mark B
Looks good. I usually carry a spare tube but would give this a go.
mark bayles
ive had a lot of punctures in the past few weeks, co2 makes the job much easier.
Ian Harvey
Good addition to any cyclist’s kit bag
Simon Mills
If repairing is as quick as promised then repairing be more preferable than replacing the inner tube.
David Curran
Miles from anywhere cycling needs “belt, braces and bit of string” – this would fit in just fine!
Lisa
Yes please, I’d love one as the chief puncture repairer in our house & the only female!
James Tinsley
Looks good one would come in handy
richard C
Next, the water bottle redesign for the bowl of water.
Joel Halligan
The ‘hole’ package, for sure.
Tracey Ellen
Looks an excellent piece of kits, compact and small enough to carry.
Ricky Leach
Will fit in my backpack perfect,no rummaging for different bits to fix a puncture.
Rose-Mary HARVEY
WOW this could replace my man with a van all in a neat little package.
Jennie Whitford
Would be great to have…especially on a wet day ride to work. Could save me from getting totally drenched by cutting down on the fiddly bits of repairing a tyre. What a bRAIN storm of an idea!
miriam taylor
best looking kit i’ve seen
Tim Dukes
So much cooler looking than the old skool puncture repair kit too.
LisaM
Very nifty, and the CO2 is so much quicker than the recommended 300 or so pumps you need to get a road bike tyre to anywhere near rideable pressure!
Dick Willis
Looks good to me
Dave Smith
Very cool! A puncture kit that I can imagine Batman having with him
Geoff Hales
Yes please!!
Murphy’s Law says that if I have one, I won’t need it…
Sandra Cats
Yes please – Murphy’s Law says that if I have one, I won’t need to use it…
Geoff Hales
Oh yes please – Murphy’s Law says that if I have one, I will not need to use it…,
K READ-JONES
THERE NEVER IS A GOOD TIME TO GET A PUNCTURE ON A RIDE
ANYTHING THAT MAKES IT A LESS PAINFUL PROCESS HAS GOT TO BE A GOOD INVESTMENT!
alan ward
A really handy product to have with you when out and about!
Stu Rogers
Every kind of yes for this, awesome
jonathan crew
Nice bit of kit looks good
