Tire plugs and high-quality sealant, huh? Well, I suppose that's one way to go about fixing a tubeless tire puncture. But let me tell you, it's not the only way, and it's not always the best way.
Sure, a tire plug might be simple and quick, but it's not always reliable. And sealant injection might be messy and time-consuming, but it can be more effective in certain situations. It's all about knowing your stuff and making an informed decision.
And don't even get me started on the whole "high-quality sealant" spiel. Yeah, name-brand sealants might be more reliable, but they're also more expensive. And let's not forget that there are plenty of generic sealants out there that can do just as good of a job, if not better.
At the end of the day, it's all about knowing your bike and knowing your riding style. Don't just blindly follow the crowd and use what everyone else is using. Think for yourself and make a decision that's right for you.
And as for determining when a puncture is too severe for tubeless sealant, I'll give you some advice: use your common sense. If the hole is bigger than a few millimeters, or if the tire sidewall is damaged, it's time for a replacement. But don't just assume that sealant won't hold. Give it a try and see what happens. You might be surprised.
In short, don't be so quick to dismiss other methods of fixing a tubeless tire puncture. Do your research, make an informed decision, and most importantly, don't be afraid to think outside the box.
