Repairing a hole too large to plug?
On your long journeys have any of you had a flat tire whereby your tire plug kit was inadequate to plug the hole? I.e. Hole too large.
Did you in this case have tubes available or did you (can you) lever the tyre off and patch it from the inside with the patches that come with tire repair kits?
What about stitching a tire with fishing line? Is this a solution perhaps?
I'm asking the question because I'm wondering if it's necessary to carry spare tubes, tire irons and bead breaker on my across Australia trip or whether a tire repair kit with the plug inserts is adequate enough?
Cheers
Ben
