Whatever works to get you home, works!

But you would be even happier if you had stuck a patch on the inside of the tyre! The air pressure holds it against the tyre wall. On the outside, the air pressure will try to blow it off. And then there is all the trail debris trying to scrape it off.

I strongly advise that you address this issue before you ride too many times.

agree with u there, but i had trouble getting the tyre on and although i knew the hole was there i thought it would seal its self but still good at mo !
