pluging tire question - Page 2

I used the Stop and Go to mushroom plug my rear tire 2 months ago. Has not last any air since then.
The plug didn't "set" at first since it had a slow leak (bubbles in the spit) but after I yanked on it a few more times with the pliers, it's been fine.

I would think since you had a hard time getting the rasp in, you puncture is small, so it must be something on the inside preventing the plug from setting.

Also never done a motorcycle tire, but used lots of them doing my other wintertime hobby (four wheeling). Once did a repair on someone's rented 4X4 I came across on the trail. He had a big sidewall cut and I used 7 of the black rope plugs. It held long enough to get him back to civilization. Wouldn't have tried it but his spare was blown/shredded too.

Haven't had a single failed attempt with the black rope type plugs and some of them I was really questioning whether it would work or not.

disclaimer. The only reason I tried a sidewall repair using plugs was to get him out of the desert and at least somewhat closer to a service station. I wouldn't try a sidewall repair on anything that was going to be driven much over a walking speed. It got him out to the highway before it gave out so served it's purpose.

Well, this is what the guy found inside my tire.
It looks like some kind of archery deal to me but not sure what it is.
Do any of you guys know what it is ???

Yup, looks like you were shot at by a modern day Indian.

It doesn't look familiar to me.

Two years ago I used the brown rope type plug on a front tire just to get it to the dealer for a new tire and it held air. Everyone said don't run with a plug so I didn't. By the way I had a screw in the tire.

pretty sure the item in question is a Kawanow rally door prize.

You're right. It's a broadhead from an arrow. You can see the slots in it where the blades were.

You are right, I should have known that from my archery days.

For some reason I keep hearing mumbling from California.
Can't make out the words, just a low indistinguishable annoying noise of some sort. ::)
