Will I be fine to just use a patch kit on this? Just bought it and don’t really wanna spend $80 for new wheels. Is there any cons to using a patch kit?

if a standard tire plug (“bacon strip”) doesn’t allow the sealant to do its job, these Lezyne Pro Plugs will fix you right up! https://ride.lezyne.com/products/tubeless-pro-plugs?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22148415766&gbraid=0AAAAADpk5vy0aARrcJhq52Xdw_vkpxN_X&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoZbBBhDCARIsAOqMEZWa18ZO3hncVYxrxEVAb0MLLwirEe7uSACqPmk2OYHcYODca_tfwnQaApqLEALw_wcB
I would get new wheels. $80 is a small price to pay to not have a broken bone if it explodes on landing a jump.
If you aren’t taking it to a bike park or something like Whistler, some bacon will be fine.
Bacon strip and send it. That’s not even a bad puncture tbh.
