I put a plug in a ghetto tubeless tyre on Sunday.
One of these. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Innovations_Tubeless_Patch_Kit/5360018216/
It lasted the rest of the day OK, but it seemed a bit soft the next day.
The bike’s not at home, so I haven’t had a proper inspection yet. It might have lost all its sealant, it certainly lost a lot at the time, or there might be another puncture, or maybe it’s just the valve leaking.
It’s only the second time I have used one of these plugs. Last time, as far as I remember, the repair lasted the life of the tyre.
How permanent do people usually consider plugs ?
Are they fit and forget, or are they a get you home bodge ?
Is it best to stick a proper patch inside the tyre as soon as possible ?
