A bicycle tire repair device has a main body which has a first end forming a working end useful for repairing and fluidly connecting with a tire to be repaired and a second end forming an air inlet end useful for connecting with an object that outputs air. The main body defines a channel between the first and the second ends for allowing the air from the object to flow to the second end. The first end includes a tire repair needle connected therewith.

Several aspects of this disclosure relate to a reusable kit and it method of use for repairing a leak in a gas-filled inflatable object. In one form, the kit may include: a hollow housing with a leading end region and a trailing end region; a plunger with a front end region and a back end region, the front end region having a tubular nose, the front end region being adapted to be received in the leading end region of the hollow housing; a plug having a head portion and a shaft portion extending therefrom, the shaft portion of the plug being adapted to be mounted at least partially in a tubular nose of the front end region of the plunger; a sealing ring that surrounds the plunger proximate the front end region thereof, the sealing ring serving to interface with an inner wall of the hollow housing; and an adhesive provided below an underside of the head portion of the plug.

A tire plug apparatus for repairing a hole in a tubeless tire on a rim using a tire plug is provided. The tire plug apparatus includes: a body configured to receive an insertion tip for inserting the tire plug into the hole; an adjustable stabilizing arm or strap configured to attach to the body and adjust to contact the tire or rim in order to stabilize the body with respect to the hole; and a motor within or otherwise attached to the body. The motor is configured to: supply an insertion force to insert the received insertion tip into the hole in order to insert the tire plug into the hole using the insertion tip while the body remains stabilized with respect to the hole; and supply an extraction force to extract the inserted insertion tip from the hole while leaving the inserted tire plug in the hole.
