New Mini Smart Spair Tire Repair & Inflation Kit Minimizes the Hassle of Fixing Flat Tires

GROVER BEACH, Calif.--March 8, 2005--

  No more pushing motorcycles or ATVs with a flat tire; mini kit provides Fix-on-the-fly repair sealing punctures and inflating tires quickly  



Accessories Marketing Inc., creators and manufacturers of SLiME(R) tire sealant products, today announced a miniature Smart Spair tire repair kit that includes a powerful mini-air compressor, an 8-ounce bottle of SLiME Tire Sealant, accessories to power-up from any 12-volt source and a tire gauge. The mini-kit is ideal for vehicles such as motorcycles and ATVs, which are unable to carry a spare tire.

Included in the kit is a powerful, palm-sized air compressor and accessories to inflate tires in minutes. The kit is so small and portable, it stores easily under a seat or in a small compartment area. The kit includes everything required to perform an emergency repair - an air hose with quick-clip, puncture sealant and optional power cord configurations to ensure connection to any 12-volt DC source - motorcycle, ATV or other vehicle - all in a small, shock-proof and water-proof zippered pouch. Furthermore, the mini tire gauge enables proper tire inflation.

"In the past, when a flat tire occurred, motorcyclists and ATV riders were forced to push their bikes or get a tow to a gas station or tire repair shop to fix the tire," said Rodney Cegelski, vice president at SLiME. "The Mini-Smart Spair kit is the world's most compact flat tire repair and inflation system and, unlike aerosols and CO2 cartridges, will fully inflate tires to the correct air pressure. Riders can completely repair their tires in just a few minutes and return to riding off-road or on."

Cegelski continued, "Motorcycles and ATVs are obviously ill-equipped to carry a spare tire, and carrying aerosol can-based tire-repair products can be extremely dangerous due to the air pressure and flammable contents. Additionally, aerosol tire-repair products only offer a temporary fix, while SLiME featuring FibroSeal(TM) technology, seals multiple punctures for up to four years."

FibroSeal technology refers to the state-of-the-art system of environmentally friendly fibers, binders, polymers and proprietary congealing agents, providing an even more effective tire sealant.

In the simple tire sealing process, SLiME tire sealant is inserted into the tire through the tire valve core (valve removal tool included in kit). The compressor is then inserted to inflate the tire, and within minutes the puncture is sealed and the tire ready for riding. Additionally, the kit allows motorists to repair and inflate any tire with no wrenches, no tire jacks and no dirty hands, no tow trucks -- getting them back on the road in less than 10 minutes.
