Do you really want to trust a DIY kit on your tyre? Don't think that tyre shops charge that much for repairing tyres.

Well you can get some that quote "Lifetime fix" on the kits, for £20 or I've been quoted £45+ for a repair with the same kit but done profesionally, annoying. The tyre has done 500 miles

Well it's up to you .The sticky string kits I'v heard, hold together for over 2500 miles on the back of some liter bikes ,allegadly .
But you can't see inside as the tyre can get damaged if its run tooo flat.
Not recomended thiough(but nither is speeding,passing up the inside of cars on dual carrige ways etc.Some times your get away with it .But its going to hert the one time you dont.

awh man feel for you that's sod's law with a new tyre. I got my tyre repaired for a few quid the last time at a local tyre shop. I've never had experience with diy kits but the girlfriends dad, would never trust them he had a bad time of them once not sure of the exact product he used. But i'm sure there's good stories about them.

If your going to do a diy fix then you will probably take the tyre of so when its of take it to a tyre fitter and ask the to plug it shouldnt be that much if you just take the tyre in there.

Get it fixed properly. I would suggest a bike shop. When I had a rear puncture the local tyre place wouldn't repair as they said the plugs they use for cars are different and they don't fix bike tyres. Local bike shop sorted me out no problem.

Had a puncture after only 500mls with a new rear decided that a plug on the tyre would just be another thing to worry about, paid 100 for a new rear instead and worth every penny.

Plugs have good rep but for the sake of £100~ id rather be safe in the knowledge that its not gonna let go
