Hi all,
I picked up a really small nail, almost like one you would use in putting together a picture frame, in my rear tire the other day. So today I bought a Dyna Plug to try out. I figured this would be perfect since it was such a small nail.
However, after installing the plug the tire is still leaking air. Here's what I did. I worked the plug into the tire, which was flat at the time (bike on center stand). I pumped up the tire to maybe 20 to 30 pounds before pulling out the plug tool, then topped it off up to 40.
Do you think it is possible I somehow didn't follow the nail hole channel? I would not believe I could force a new hole but I don't know what other explanation there might be.
So I think I need to pull the tire and try a patch. Recommendations on patches?
Thanks,
Tom
