Man, I'm sorry! that sucks...
I got nailed in my new Michie Flatter than a fifteen year old. Where's my plug kit damit.
Man, I'm sorry! that sucks...
I successfully fixed my rear flat tire with automotive flat tire kit and have already about 1000 miles on it, but in my case the screw was nailed right in the thread groove, so the patch is not under disturbing while riding and sits pretty safe in the groove.
At least twice as much....
It's holding... and it doesn't even look that bad after a few miles.
I picked up a thin pointed rock on a 200 mile new tire rear bottom center, plugged it held fine.
The rope plugs are nasty but apparently effective. Used them several times on car tires. A 1/8" drill bit to rem out the hole first makes it easier. I don't use balance beads because I anticipate needing a rope plug. I wonder if my wheel is out of balance now.
rob: for peace of mind, your health and reliability i would still remove the wheel, strip tire from rim and have local tire shop "hot patch" it. tried and proven method, only costs a few bucks and will restore pressure holding reliability that lasts the life of the tire. i never trust a "plug" for anything more than a convenient temporary fix.
having recommended that with your SAFETY in mind....let's now have all the drones chime in with "plugged hundreds of tires with nary a problem".
I am with him ^^^^ just a temp fix on a road bike.. I would get it done by a shop.. if it was my truck I would just rock it though lol
