| A better bet than Tyre Weld is one of those temporary puncture repair kits. They come with a bradell for enlarging the hole, some glue, rubber bungs and some soda siphon type cartridges. You basically stick the bung in the hole and then use the cartridges to inflate the tyre. Kit costs in the region of a tenner. I never once managed to use Tyre Weld for more that a couple of hundred metres before the tyre went down again...
Saying that in 500,000 odd miles as a courier I had p'raps 5 punctures that actually immobilised the bike. The rest of the nails and screws etc from Londons crappy streets went in but didn't actually deflate the tyre enough to stop me getting it fixed.
