Anyone got any decent tips for repairs to damaged tubeless tyres?

Managed to create a hole in the sidewall of a bonty XR mud at the weekend, it’s only small, not much bigger than a decent thorn hole but too much it seems for the latex to seal it up properly.

I’m thinking of a regular tube patch stuck on after giving the sideall a good clean on the inside but is there anything else I’d be better trying?

Ta.

That small,I’d use a ‘sticky anchovy’ type thing…. wouldn’t bother with a patch.
Can fix it from the outside then.

Google ‘tubeless repair kit’.

Tubeless patches are thicker, Ive fixed a few. Just need to clean the tyre of all latex gunk before sticking. Or just try superglue in the hole.

One of these?

I remember trying to rpair a UST tyre years ago with something similar where you pushed the rubber stick into the tyre and pulled it back out to double it up and couldn’t get it to work although it may have been bad technique.

There’s another thread on this at the moment…

Big holes or slices can benefit from a stitch or two- basically if the hole pulls open, then it’ll want to pull open when patched.

Small-ish holes, either use an external string patch, or just pop it off and whack a small, standard glue-on patch on the back, easy.

The Weldtite tubeless repair kit works for smallish holes, it’s quick and easy to do.

I dont like those stringy things, I used one of these dont think I got any patches left though, its nowt special just thicker patches.
