Muc-off’s tubeless puncture plug kit is a perfect stocking filler, its an essential for tubeless tyres to keep things rolling, and would make a great bundle with their colourful tubeless valves for a little personalisation. Give the gift of comfort with Chamois Butt’r, a skin soothing cream and lubrication to stop saddle sores.
