I had to use the cartridge type repair kit last year for the first time. I was touring in France with a mate on his Honda SP2 and he ended up with a screw in centre of rear tyre.
I have to say I was very impressed with it. The one thing I would say though is that when you have removed the offending item and use the tool supplied to roughen/clean up the punture hole make sure you really work it in and out and open the hole up. If you don't then when you try to push the 'plug' into the hole you will have to push so hard it tears the 'plug' I did not open hole up properly the first time so scrapped a 'plug'.
Regarding the cartridges we used three on his 190 section rear tyre which put enough pressure in to safely ride to a garage and inflate it some more. It does say not to ride above 50kmh (I think) until you have tyre repaired or replaced but we could not get to a tyre place for three days. The tyre lost approx 4psi each day so we kept topping it up and speeds well let's say we were doing well over 50kmh!!
All in all a great piece of kit to get you out of the do do. Always keep mine with me.
