Small hole just above the bead on a low wear 29er. Can't afford to ditch it, so will a suitably wide 650b tube probably kinda maybe work?

Thanks in advance for abuse/advice. 😎

Would a puncture repair patch work?

Ta all. If I could identify the spot I'd try an anchovy but it seems a bit close to the bead for that. I'll have closer look tomorrow. Just need t get the bike ready for the commute on Tuesday.

I've had 26er and 29er tubes working in everything from 26  to 27.5, B+, 29 and 26x4.

They're made of expandable rubber you know.

Though all the above sizes work better without them...

Great. Go to shed, tyre still up after being left overnight. Presumable the sealant eventually fixed it. But now I don't trust it as the air was escaping right next to the rim. Arrgghhhhh!

I'll have to go for a ride when it stops raining and see what happens. Or just stick the tube in. But its a Conti Race Sport and feels sooo good tubeless. First world problem for sure...
