What a crock of shit Warwick.
I have removed more punctured tyres, and inspected the inside of them, than you could ever imagine.
You seem to have a fetish for arguing for the sake of arguing.

It isn't a crock of shit and was one reason "dog turd" type repairs weren't allowed as a permanent repair
While I primarily deal in car tyres the same principles apply with any tyre repair, if you haven't seen any damage inside the punctured tyres you've inspected then I doubt you know what you're looking for

Meh, take it up with NZTA.

Dog turd repairs are not accepted as permanent repairs primarily because there is no formed mushroom head to prevent the plug working it's way to the outside.

Dog turd is such a fine sounding new, those new one you are arguing about need an equally good name, how about black knobs?

Out of interest what was crap about them - fiddle? Not airtight?

Not airtight, they were also believed to cause seperation problems due to air leaking between the belts in a few cases, they may have improved them but they look identical
I'd use them to get me home rather than a "dog turd" but I'd be doing a proper repair as soon as I could

Punctures I have had a few.
I cary enough tools to fix all but the very worst.
I have in all my bikes tyre irons, patch kits for tubes and plugs for tubeless, some of those co2 cartridges and most importantly a small fold up bike pump. In the side car which from time to time breaks a spoke and does nasty things to the tube a spare tube and a spare wheel.
I also have a length of para cord so i can bind the tyre and tighten with a stick and get the bead to reseat.
It also pays to get some practice fixing punchers. I can honestly say it is easier to get an old SAT off a landy rim than get a tyre off my HD.

Geeze Flip, that's a whole mechanics workshop repair kit you have there. You could start up a roadside repair business.

Landrover rims are bad so HD rims must be pretty shit
