Excuse me?
Bro started using his milk has sealant💀. Jokes aside, YOU CAN use it. But it wouldn’t be ideal.
replace, I would not trust it
I’ve only ever ridden with tubed buttplugs. Is there a noticeable difference in feel?
That big of a hole on that narrow of a tire I’d definitely replace.
Patch it from the inside and keep riding.
I’d ride it and carry a tube with me just in case. Those are costly tires to replace.
If that’s your thing, who are we to judge. I’d plug the tire too.
How large was the hole?
Unless it was significantly larger than ~5mm, I would patch it and never think about it again. If it were smaller than ~5mm I’d probably leave the plug in and never think about it again unless the plug was so long inside the tire that I could feel the balance being off.
Just start small and work your way up
