How did the garage go about fixing it? i took it to a garage the last time i had a puncture and they took my sticky plug out and put their own sticky plug in and when i questioned why they did that i asked for an internal patch they said their sticky plugs were better. I ended up buying a new tyre because they didnt have any internal mushroom plugs to fix the tyre properly.

Just a little update, it lasted without issue for almost 2 months but i decided to give it a little poke with just my finger and it went straight into the tyre with no effort at all, i finished poking it through with the reamer tool and stuck a sticky plug in the tyre instead. 0/10 would not recommend and these mushroom tyre plug kits are drastically more expensive than the good old sticky snake plugs.

Well thats concerning, but how likely is it that a real world event would actually push the plug inside the tyre like that. It would have to be a pointy object pressed directly agaisnt the plug itself.

Found a screw in my tyre earlier today and rather than use a sticky plug i tried the stop and go mushroom plugger kit iv had for years and noticed theres a little bulge at the corner of the tread. Seems to be perfectly sealed but it doesnt hurt to get a second opinion, iv replaced this rear tyre twice before and its basically brand new so i really dont want to replace it again. Do you think its safe for now?

Anyone have a recommended bike cover?

That storm X one looks good and has a nice lining, think i might give that a shot. Thanks! -
Iv gone through literally dozens of bike covers now the JVC ones the oxford ones and the cheap chinese shit covers as well. So far not a single one has lasted more than about 8-9 months before the weather turns the material to paper and it starts tearing when im putting it on or taking it off. At this point i may as well just buy the cheaper £10 chinese covers because they last the same amount of time. Anyone have a recommended heavy duty brand thats lasted long term? one that has a thicker material that wont turn into tissue paper so fast.

My jeans are lined with kevlar.
