When I needed a Crafty Plugger last year I fully intended to do a “proper” repair ASAP.
Even the smallest mushrooms are designed for larger punctures than the tiny hole left by the small nail I hit. Reaming the hole out to make it big enough to repair that way would risk cutting the kevlar cords of the tyre carcass. I could have replaced the plug with bicycle patch I suppose, but that didn’t feel as if it would be more secure.
So, I’ve left it.
After the first couple of thousand miles you stop worrying.
