I'm glad I can laugh about this now. It punctured the rim (its 30mm) but the hole is not that big at all. I'm going to Gorilla tape over the hole and go with it. (don't judge me ) |

Thrown down some tape, then glue a little patch of something hard over that...spare carbon bit or similar. Then tape again. Innertube might bulge into tape enough to puncture.

It doesn’t with spoke holes, probably won’t with this hole. Tape it, ride it.

Gorilla tape will fix anything from a broken heart to the crack of dawn.

You got screwed on that one.

I've heard of using tubular glue and tape, but that's going a bit overboard.

Funny. I've picked up 3 or 4 "direct shot" nail or screw punctures like that using Vittoria G+'s in the last year. I think the channels in the tread pattern may facilitate that.

Had this happen yesterday while on a organized gravel ride, while descending a paved section going about 30 mph. Heard the typical thump thump thump of a rear flat. Fortunately the screw was only approx 25mm, minimal rim damage.
Flat fixed with a new tube and emergency tire boot. Unfortunately the tire didn’t seat correctly, and of course didn’t notice until starting off again. Pulled over and had to use an additional co2 cartridge to bring pressures up to “seating pressure”, then drop it to riding pressure. All in all, could have been worse. But how difficult is it for these construction trucks to not drop all their crap onto the roads? |

The off road sections were actually smoother than the potholed and crumbling paved sections.
