Who can use it?

Cargol has been designed for extreme ease of operation, and no special skill is required.  All you have to do is insert the tip, screw it on as if it were a valve and then break it off, all with the least possible effort. No additional tools are necessary. Any person can use it with no difficulty.

 

What is it made of?

The Cargol product is made by injection into improved polypropylene, with fibres.  This combination of materials makes it a versatile tool that can easily be broken off once screwed on, with great resistance to the moving of the wheel once the opening in the tyre has been blocked.

 

Can the tyre be repaired by the mechanic afterwards with no problem?

The Cargol device can easily be removed from the inside of the tyre when the mechanic repairs the tyre.  Use a pair of pliers to remove it, by unscrewing. It must be removed from the inside of the tyre, since from the outside, it is practically impossible to see the point of entry.

 

Can I use it on my tyre?

Cargol is a versatile tool that can be used on any tubeless tyre.  (Motorcycles-Scooters-Quads-Trailers-Cars-Trucks-4x4s-Mountain Bikes)

 

Does it make permanent repair?

The Cargol has been designed to deal with emergency situations.  Tests carried out on real vehicles (cars & bikes) have shown excellent results for Cargol in terms of resistance, reliability and functionality.  After using Cargol to make an emergency repair, we advise you to visit your tyre specialist as soon as possible.

 

How long does it last?

stored in normal conditions, without been exposed to direct sunlight or conditions of extreme damp for long periods of time. In test performed for 3 months on real vehicles, 3600 km for cars and 2100 km for bikes, no erosion or wear and tear that could affect the emergency sealing functions was observed.  However, after using cargol to make an emergency repair, we advise you to visit your tyre specialist as soon as possible.

 

What happens if the nail has not come out?

If the nail has not come out, we suggest that if the tyre is not losing too much air, you use the CO 2 cylinders.  These are included in the original equipment manufacturer’s kits and kits on sale to the public.  That way, you can get to the workshop where the tyre can be permanently repaired by a professional.  If the tyre is losing a lot of air, despite the fact that the nail is still inside, or if the nearest workshop is very far away, remove the nail.  To do this, use a pair of pliers, such as those that come with the kits on sale to the public (K004). The procedure is quiet easy; just follow the instructions on the back of the blister pack.  After removing the nail, all you have to do is insert the tip, as if it were a valve, and break it off. No additional tools are necessary.

 

What is Cargol?

 

Cargol is a new product patented by Nagesti , (SABS) tested and marketed by Gargol KZN that will allow you to solve the problem of a puncture wherever you are; in a matter of seconds, and without the need for tools or chemicals that could make subsequent repairs difficult. This is a must-have in every motorcyclist’s kit. Without it you will simply be left stranded, and this system is far easier to use than the conventional tyre-plug kit.

 

What is it used for?

 

The Cargol has been specially designed to repair punctures in any tubeless tyre. In just a few seconds and with minimum effort, you will be able to drive off afterwards, as if nothing has happened.

 

How does it work?

 

The 5-step thread helicoil design and toric ring located at the top ensures that the puncture is safely sealed.  The tip, at an angle of 17’ make it easy to insert and the wide grip enables you to insert Cargol easily until the hole is plugged.  Since it is inserted through the toric spiral thread it does not erode the tyre and therefore there is no increase in the hole diameter.
