Tire patching

[Tom Wheeler]

It is hard to find someone who will do it.  I got a nail after a couple hundred miles on the back tire.  I took it to a small shop and they placed one of the plug/patch deals in it.  I road it until there was white skunk stripe down the middle (patch was to the outside).

Keep looking for one at a car parts store, just make sure you apply it well.
