There's nothing worse than getting a flat on your own in the middle of nowhere, especially offroad. With tubeless tires the plug fix works most of the time, but with offroad bikes, it means changing the inner tube.

Getting an 18" rear enduro tire on and off without pinching the new tube really isnt fun (especially at 4pm when you're trying to get somewhere.)


A couple of the experienced offroad riders here have been carrying and using Three Bond tyre Bond tire foam. You would have thought this might only work in tubeless tires but they have been using it with punctured inner tubes offroad and it's rideable immediately after use.



The instructions say air isnt needed, so what seems to happen is that the liquid released from the can, reacts with the air inside the tire and forms a semi-solid foam moose inside the tire.


It can be bought for 550 Bht in Chiang Mai

How to use (one rider says he adds air too, the video doesnt mention adding air) :


Remove the nail or any foreign mateiral that caused the puncture, if possible. no force is necessary.
Shake the pando well for about 15 seconds before use.
Tighten the screw of the nozzle to the tire air intake valve.
Push the nozzle button for 60 - 75 seconds (Gas & White foam will be injected)
Remove the hose once the dispensing finished.
Drive immediately in slow mode for 3-5km to spread the sealent in the tyre.
make sure there are no air exiting from the tyre.
Note: This is a temporary patch. Send to the nearest dealer ASAP.
