Picked up a puncture on a trip this weekend. Nail in the "block" of my Motoz ADV tyre. Was hoping it was just in the block and wouldn't leak but no such luck.

It was a big group of ~22bikes so it was a very quick plug at a gas station on Thursday. Tyre was almost brand new which is annoying.

The plug held the whole weekend and a 350km highway ride back to JHB.....Should I bother getting it patched properly with a mushroom type job from the inside or just leave it?


I'm usually never the puncture guy, and this is actually the first puncture I've ever had riding ADV bikes. :biggrin:
