I was riding a century not too long ago on a set of tires that were old. (I know I'm stupid). About 10 miles from the end my tire blowout and opened up an inch long hold in the tire. I shoved some duct tape and a used gu packet in there to get me to the finish line. Unfortunately, that didn't work for long. I ended up riding the last 6 miles on a flat tire.
Since then, I've had a couple people tell me they carry a peice of plastic or kevlar around with them for such occasions. First of all, what's a patch like that called? (a patch to temporarily fix a hole in a tire) Someone had a name for it, but I can't remember. Second, where do you buy small pieces of kevlar like that?
Thanks!
