I got a screw through the tread, tube and sidewall on a rather expensive Vredenstien 700 x 23 tire yesterday. I did a field patch and it lasted through the rest of my ride. I will replace the tube but that still leaves a small hole in the sidewall which is visable (the tread hole appears better because the rubber seals it there.) When I fill the tube to 120 lbs there is no bulge in the sidewall but still I worry what might happen at speed. Should I use glue to patch the sidewall with some thin fabric or just let it be?
