Just bought a brand new set of Dunlops, rear tire caught a brad nail or some long thin piece of metal and almost went cruising with about only 10 pounds of air pressure Lucky a buddy noticed.
Can someone, anyone please inform me of the good bad and ugly of plugging or patching or both on a bike tire. I am hoping I dont have to buy another rear but safety first. I have heard of umbrella patches that work like a plug and a patch at the same time, not sure if its safe to do so on a bike tire for various reasons. I remember hearing people say stuff like you dont fix bike tires you replace them. Need some guidance from brain trust in the site, Thanks.
