I bought some because they were cheap and have previously had trouble getting the stop & go mushroom through the tool into the tyre.
Personally I wouldn't want to use one for long because apart from the thread there's nothing holding them in place so it would be ride/drive home slowly and replace.
Did u put soloution on? JJH
Why? It’s not revelant at all. But thanks. JJH
Not on the mushrooms. Have used these many times on bike and car punctures and they've always lasted for the remaining life of the tyre.
I guess the internal air pressure of the tyre holds the sides of the mushroom head against the inner wall of the tyre.
The threaded type doesn't have this so I think it would work itself loose as the tyre wears.
I have never used the threaded types but carry them with me and would use them if necessary.
puncture repair
I have used the screws I first inserted a repair string and found there was still a slight leak so I parted the 2 ends of the string and put a large screw in the middle screwed it in flush and repair done no glue required I've checked it a few times since with no leak so it will stay there until I change the tyre
