Thanks for the input guys. Like I said I never used the stuff before. I'll replace the tube and parch the old one and keep it around for a spare. I rally don't think it would be possible to patch the tire even if I wanted to. I mean it was a very small finishing nail.
Whenever I install new tubes, I always use Slime as a preventative. https://www.slime.com/au/products/lawn-garden/sealants/tire-sealant.php
That's all GuzziBob (RIP) did for years on his T3 and 1000S. Never had a flat. <shrug>Personally, I prefer going tubeless.
That's what I do on my old Brits and on the tubed SP-1000. No flats. No mess when you change the tires. I've never quite understood the wide-eyed desire to "eliminate tubes" .... I guess it's just what some folks do, because ... it's done.Lannis
John - do you fix your own flats? Plug em, air them up and go?
From wirespokes:Only one plugging on the road with a tubeless and it got me home but didn't really hold. My others were one that went flat two blocks from my house, another tubeless that just required an airing up to get home and the rest were found before my next ride.GliderJohn
