[QUOTE="squeezer, post: 190409, member: 2381"] I once picked up a fence staple or something that left two holes right next to each other. I was in the middle of the eastern Oregon desert with no bike tires to be had anywhere. The two holes right next to each other made it hard for the plugs to hold. Since I was riding with a friend, and since other bikes came by (I was leaving a COG national rally), I had a chance to try most everything -- mushroom plugs, bullet plugs, string plugs, & fix-a-flat spray in goop -- until a kind soul with a friend nearby got a cattle trailer to haul me to Boise for a tire. The bottom line of this story is that the string plugs were the only ones that let me ride a while as I tried to get to somewhere that had a replacement. I could get 50 or so miles on them before they blew. Nothing else gave me more than 10. The fix-flat stuff was useless. String plugs are the only ones I carry on the bike now. My rear tire went down 6 times that day. :dribble: I was pretty wiped out by the end of that. [/QUOTE]
