Plugged Tyre - Would you ride on this?

[Rabb]

Yeah, about right. There is a load of nonsense written about this contentious matter, most without the knowledge to do so.

Done in the correct manner, by pros, to the suitable puncture, a plug is very successful.

Any doubt, they will not do it. Keep away from cowboys !

My current rear tyre has been plugged, as i picked up a puncture not long after the tyre was fitted, no issues at all, and you don't even notice it's there.

The plug is usually topped off by a re enforced cap that's stronger and oversized to the tyre, the part poking through is I tiny bit of the plug or stem, glue friction and good old air pressure help keep the cap sealed firmly in place, the tyre construction has a webbed material running through it which the rubber is bound to, the underside Glued side of the cap holds this ruptured area firmly in place, this type of repair should not be confused with the old web and glue emergency type that just pushes through the tyre from the outside and is designed to just get you home or to safety

Had my 3rd puncture in 6 months yesterday. The 1st two resulted in new tyres. This one (10 weeks old) was repairable and is my first plug ever.
