Re: Punctures…
I carry the screw ones and my stop n go kit. My kids are buying me the little pump from the other thread, so I should be able to effect a repair one way or another, just so i can (hopefully) get home without waiting 2-3 hours for recovery, which is the typical time if you call them out in rush hour in London.
Coincidentally, i just saw this on my FB feed, which does make them look like a viable temp repair?

Re: Punctures…
Used one today - held air so I could get to the garage don’t know how long I’d trust one for - Had a ribbon job put in and I’ll get a proper repair when I’ve got time -3.99 for 20 of themTaipan wrote: Mon Jan 26, 2026 4:58 pm What do you guys use for tubeless repairs? I've used stop n go for year but wouldn't mind trying these as get you home job? I'd worry about them blowing back out so it could only be atemp repair.

Those in that vid above have a lot more rubber than mine have. I've got 4 different tyre repair kits now and I bet my bottom dollar 
, I'll have none with me when the big day comes.
