So the other night I come home from a decent ride and park the bike to open the garage. Low and behold there is some shinny thing sticking out of my front tire.

It was a little brass thing that resembles a valve stem. I pulled it out and now the tire has a very mi-nute leak. Very small not like tinny bibbles in the tub

So my question would be should I plug the tire or patch it from the inside?

If I plug it I dont think I want to open the hole up more like you usually do to install a plug. I was thinking just putting the plug to clog the small hole.

Or because it is such a tiny hole should I patch the inside?

Please help me Im jonesin to go ridding

i would say patch it for the tim being if you really need to ride the bike or its your only means of transport .. but i would also order a new tire so that once you ready to replace you have a new tire just waiting around .. I personally wouldnt ride it like that , but thats just me

I would not ride it like that either but thats me.

+1 on patching it for time being.

I was thinking the same b/c the patch would be better suited to cover the tinny pin hole. But I think I will not adherer to your advice b/c Iz gotz to get it to a wheel shop some how!
