best puncture fix??

Realised i had a flat on the rear when i left the work carpark sideways n i was only doin 15mph. Just put on a new tyre tho so really dont want to have to replace it. Iv located the puncture, its a screw in my tyre right upto the head. Am i best having an innertube fitted or use tyre weld or similar product or get it plugged? Also, anyone got a rough idea of the price of gettin a hole plugged?

if the hole is small you can just replace the tube, if it is large you can have it plugged and live happily ever after untl the tyre wears out,

Bad luck, sorry about that.

Innertube only mate,the tyres may say tubless but they are infact tubed.

diy????

That sounds better then, id far rather have ruined an inner tube thatll cost what???�25-50 than the brand new �120 tyre! Is it somethin that i could do myself then? I could probly get the tyre popped off the rim at work (halfords) and then either patch the tube or replace it myself.Thankfully i got a week off work so dont need the bike for travelling everyday.

your probably looking at �10-�15 for a inner tube,i have replaced tyers by myself ,the back is a bit of a struggle but it can be done,dont forget a set of rim protectors if you do try it your self

It possible to use some "quick fix" system (I think I have seen some in a spray can) to get a temporary fix just to get home at low speeds in case it happens on a ride out ?
