    Anyone know where I can get a kit to repair a (MTB) tubeless tyre? Don't want to order online. Just blew mine miles from home. Hole is too big for the sealant to work - that just sprayed everywhere - mostly over me!

    I would just dump the tyre but if you REALLY want to try save it then

    I feel it doesn't work too well but give it a go!

    If it hadn't cost me 55 euro I'd dump the tyre..

    I've used the car tyre repair kit Chemi Cure on a Nobby Nic and it worked ok. There are also motorbike kits with plugs in them....

    Otherwise put in a tube and maybe a patch inside the hole.

    Mine is a nobby nic funnily enough.. Gonna try and patch it and put more stans inside. It did its best to seal as the tyre stayed up for a while, until I put my fat ass on the bike!!

    I've seen this kit in Cycle Superstore and 53° North, haven't needed to use it yet though, but I hear it works for certain punctures.

    Grand - might pick one of those up next week when I'm home. I've just patched the inside now and put a lot of rubber cement over the whole area, refitted the tyre and put more gloop in (stan's - I think) and it's stayed up so far. Too late to ride it now as I have to go to work but I'll see tomorrow
