quick and easy one chaps I went out today and sure enough great weather trails dry and I got a puncture that the gum sealant could not seal I repaired it with a tubeless repair kit .Alls OK but just wondered how long before I need a new tyre or is it OK as a permanent fix .ps name of brand repair kit Weldtite.
cheers all. -------------------- www.flickr.com/photos/trek8900/

'tis permanent. Just trim it off flush to the tyre carcass.
If you're really worried you can pop the tyre off, and stick a normal puncture repair patch to the inside of the tyre wall. -------------------- "Say something that you know they might attack you for"

It is permanent but I'd leave some sticking out rather than trim right back to the carcass -------------------- Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars

Because the "plug" partly works by being bigger than the hole on both sides to stop it coming out in either direction. Imagine an "hour glass" shape. If you chop off one side it then becomes a "wedge" shape which can come out easier.... I know it's not that simple but that should get the point across....? -------------------- Jaws was never my scene and I don't like Star Wars
