Had a flat last night where a stone cut my tyre which the Stan's couldn't fix. No patches, no tube but had a cable tie in the bag...

Cut the end off, at an angle, with a knife and slid it though the hole - twas a perfect fit. Managed to get the tyre back on with a CO² and it sealed and stayed up for the duration of the ride and is still up now...
