[Punkstig]

Just ordered a Craftyplugger. Here's hoping I never need to use the bugger!!  :lol

Might be worth practicing on an old tyre?

So, so simple to use, no need to practice, however, pay attention to the angle in which the debris has gone into the tyre then make sure to push the bodger tool in the hole at the same angle, if not you can end up creating a 2nd hole which then can be difficult to repair!
If whatever caused the puncture has already come out feel your way in gently with the bodger,
95% of punctures will be in rear tyre, after finding it put the bike in gear, stopping the wheel rotating will make pushing the tool into the hole a lot easier!
