   This is my first outing with tubeless tyres so please be gentle.

   I have holed the rear tyre and fixed it using a tubeless repair kit (the one with the sticky pipe cleaner type things). is it possible to patch these holes up in a more robust fashion back at base..one of them was quite large and the repair did not hold well so I had to chuck a tube in.

   TIA

   You can patch it from inside the tyre, I used a standard patch and some superglue.

   You can do but the patches do not work that well ime as they are very stretchy and can peep through. You can sew them up with floss on the sidewalls and patch that works well

   BTW superglue is rubbish as it does not flex at all and the patch comes away when the tyre flexes.

   You can get specific tubeless patches that are applid from the inside and are thicker and less flexy than ordinary patches
