I've not used the stop and go kit, but I use the 'sticky string' kits on my car and my bike. The hardest part of using the kit is getting the bike on the main stand with a flat tyre. My kits were £6 each from ebay several years ago. I carry a small foot pump. Only recently bought and electric pump after my foot was saved by friends' electric pump !!
I had a 10mm bolt (6mm thread) insert itself into my tyre. The string fixed it.

I use kits like that all the time.. I do get an awful lot of punctures and to be honest I carry a full toolkit with me. I tend to take the wheel off at the side of the road and do a proper fix with mushroom patches!!

Getting a slug out is a real pain.

I have used these on about 5 or 6 occasions, always worked for me and for £3 a bargain. Last used one 2 weeks ago on a friends R1, he had a very fast puncture. I had a couple in my Xmax 250 scooter, they lasted a couple of years before i replaced my tyre.

I've carried a Stop & Go kit for years now, and it works extremely well. Last month, on a tour of the US I used it to fix punctures on two bikes - both caused by nails. Mine is the one with the gun-type insertion tool.
