I think so, you might as well try plugging it, the kits are cheap and it's only the back tire.

That's the textbook perfect puncture. Easy to fix, ask your local tyre shop.

Yes. I did similar just last week.

DIY with Stop N Go. Best kit I've found.

I hope all my punctures are like that, the perfect easy repair for string or plugs or tyre shops.

I always heard you shouldn't plug a puncture that is within 2" of the edge of the tyre.

The kit is cheap but your life isn't. Many folk fit these and they last but I'd just buy a new tyre and play it safe unless your running an inner tube.

I'm not convinced by these DIY puncture repair kits, but on the other hand I have nothing against proper vulcanised puncture repairs, ie traditional style puncture repairs. I have been round the Nurburgring on my bike with a repaired rear tyre and have no concerns, but I wouldn't have done it with a DIY jobbie.

Yes, its a bit near edge but it should be fine if you do it properly - remove tire, do vulcanised repair, refit.

Takes about an hour. Cost is about 25 quod for the consumables, but lasts a very long time...

You need cement, plugs, stitcher tool, new valve, liner sealer, tire golf ball drill attachment.

Assuming you already have leavers, foot pump, a block of wood and a large g clamp for removing/refitting tire.

How does a bloody simple puncture generate so much shit debate ?

Take tyre to professional tyre repair shop, ask tyre expert (Question 1) "could I have ridden over or through anything that could possibly in any way affect the safety performance or the integrity of my tyre(s) regarding safety ?

Tyre professional will answer in the definitive.

Note: Never ever fkn ever, entertain the idea that a repair is possible or feasible, that would be too much too think about.

Instruct tyre professional to fit new tyres, including for valves, balancing etc. etc.

Return to professional tyre repair shop 1 week later and ask question number 1 again, Instruct tyre professional to fit new tyres, including for valves, balancing etc. etc.; repeat weekly thereafter and forever, sorted.
