I just picked up a plasterboard nail (Sheetrock/Gypsum board) in a nearly new front tyre
The guys in the local bike shop said they could do a mushroom patch on the inside akin to this one..
What is the collective wisdom on the safety of these or should I bite the bullet and order a new tyre for our impending Excellent adventure?
