Was out today, not sure what happened but rear tyre suddenly went flat. Had a look and there is a tear about 3mm long in the sidewall just near the bead running parallel to the bead.
I'm running tubeless (or was) and the tyre is a Conti Mountain King 2.
I've thought of a bit of gaffer tape might to the job or a puncture repair patch but then thought I'd ask the STW wise ones to see if there was a better idea. Any thoughts?
Buy a new tyre.
patch it with one of these

Patch it as said above, or i've superglued a patch on the inside before and its worked ok. Funnily enough i did exactly the same thin this morning.
Even funnier was that i had just been saying how i've never had a problem with tubeless since i've had my 29ers and only about 300m down the trail i ripped a hole in the side wall 😳
I carry one of these

it's brilliant,I've never had to use it.
funny u mention that SSboggy - I was having a similar discussion about the benefits of sidewall protection on the more expensive Mountain kings compared to my mates cheaper versions just 5 mins before this happenned too
