Here's one BikeForums member who did something like that.



Short version of the story:
  1. Went for a ride on a nice Sunday
  2. Rider got a puncture
  3. Improvised tyre boot (read: $1 bill) was not holding
  4. All bike shops on the island and in the vicinity were closed
  5. Rider tried to make a 27" tyre purchased at Wal-Mart work on a 700c rim
  6. Clever repacking of Mr. Tuffy liner provided more acceptable tyre boot for return trip
  7. Rider did not want to stand in long line to return said tyre to Wal-Mart
  8. Rider donned said tyre and rode with it across body all the way back
  9. Rider was ngateguy
