    Although that Onza tires looks pretty tricky, it probably wouldn’t have flatted on a Maxxis or other reputable brands.
    Side note- I haven’t heard good reviews on the muc-off sealant either. Hope that helps

    I agree two inner tube patches on the inside then fill the holes with super glue on the outside. Jobs a good one. 👍 ❤😊🎉🎉🎉 .

    you can try a glue tube patch on the inside of the tire, but you will need to remove and clean the tire and wait to patch fully dry before reinstaling and putting selant

      Good to know, I’ll check that out!

      I agree. I would patch both the cuts from the inside, and, put a few drops of superglue on the outside. Some people use a needle and thread on the outside and then add the superglue. I think the bacon works better on a straight puncture than on a cut.
      It would be a shame to replace a new tire. They don't even look dirty yet.

      Will a dynaplug not work and cut it off? Oh just thought those are black in colour. I prefer these as they don’t pull out the tyre

      You can use an innertube to get even pressure on the patch(es) while they cure, then go back to tubeless. Flex Glue make a rubberized white adhesive that might work well on the tread side, maybe.

    Wait...Onza is still in business?

      😂 Regretfully yes. It is 80% marketing, 20% product.

      I wouldn’t say regretfully and I haven’t seen any marketing from them. I found them searching for tan sidewall tires. And the tires do seem to be pretty good overall with decent traction. I’ve got some patches now to try and fix this rear tire up better and then some more time on them will tell me if this was a fluke puncture or if the tires really are extra prone to damage.

      @@Bikes-with-Ben It is the compound used. Yet sure feel free to up your loss. I don't mind. I just role out my honest user opinion, experience and feedback. I don't mind when others want to swim against my stream. Feel free to. But it will cost more, is the result. And yeah about every tire is patchable, why wouldn't it be?

      @Incorruptus1 what is wrong with the compound they use? I’m not trying to up my loss or swim up your stream, I just want to know what’s makes them junk.

      @@Bikes-with-Ben Why I say this is because there is a brand that sells completely red tires, neon green and yellow ones as well as blue ones. They all have similar pigment formulas. And all have the same puncture resistence and durability issues. So is why I assume it has to do with more color/pigment matter in the compounds. But assuming it with reasoning. This is by experience. A scientific statement I can't do. That needs independent research.
