Default Tire Plug

I've never plugged a tire of any kind until today.

I had to plug the back tire of my Nomad. It has held the same air pressure all afternoon.

Have any of you on this board ran a plugged cycle tire for a long duration with good luck?

I've done the "snot string" repair on a few car tires which have held up better than expected. On a bike, though, wow; not sure I'd feel too safe going many miles before I either had it patched properly, or just replaced the tire. Different physics involved with bike tires versus car tires. I have never used the snot strings on bike tires.
Glad to hear it works!! Be careful.
