Rivers have acted as cradles for civilization and agents of disaster; a river may be a barrier or a highway, it can support trade and sediment, culture and conflict. This Very Short Introduction is a celebration of rivers in all their diversity. Geographer Nick Middleton covers a wide and eclectic range of river-based themes, from physical geography to mythology, to industrial history and literary criticism. Offering a truly global look at rivers, with examples from all continents, including Egypt, India, and Bangladesh, Middleton considers the role that rivers have played in human history from settlements and trade to warfare, and also looks at the human impact upon rivers by the construction of dams and cutting of channels.

worked great for Me
Size: 0.16 x 1.42 ,0.24 x 1.77 ,0.35 x 2.36 Inch
I have only used two patches so far, and they have worked just fine, You do have to have some tools like a buffing wheel and the vulcanizing glue and a roller wheel to make these patches work as they should, but I am happy with these patches, especially since nobody will repair a motorcycle tire, so this is Your only way to fix them.

These tire repair reamers work great for plug/other type repairs
Size: 3 mm 4.5 mm 6 mm Tire, Number of Items: 3
These tire repair reamers work great for plug/other type repairs. Gone are the days of manually fighting a hand reamer through rough rubber. This is an efficient, neat and clean way to prepare a tire for the repair. Will purchase again as needed.
