Default figures a nail

well after waiting for 3 months for the temps to drop below 100 degrees to go for a ride, i get a nail in the rear. pretty much new tire, tubeless. just wonder if theres a easy sure fix for this or am i going to have to take it off and take it to the shop.

I used plugs for my rear tire, [ Brand new, 2 screws in 1 week.] No problems so far.

No, I think they are basically all the same, they are quite strong, just get a repair kit, with the rasp and the needle thingy.

I forgot to mention, if you have a mini air compressor, you can fix flats while on the road, if you have tubless tires.

Try to stay away from Slime unless its a dire emergency, sure makes a nice mess when it comes time to pull the tire off!!!
