I just had to cut a trip short due to a nail right the middle of a decent trailmax mission. After doing well on a plug for another 200 miles, it started leaking. 2 more plugs slowed it enough. No tires locally so i just went home. So much for plug and go tubeless. Had to air up twice on the way home. The Sykic tire pressure monitors more than paid for themselves yesterday.
Anyways I was within 300 miles of home so not a huge deal overall to lose 2 days of a 4 day trip.i have had good success with a plug before. This was a straight through hole, on the tread and took almost all of the dynaplug length. If it was at more of an angle that could have been a problem as well.
But on a longer trip where tires are limited, I think I'm going to start bringing a tube. My questions are;
1. Does anyone have experience with running a tube on their S10?
2. Has anyone run a 19 inch tube in the 17in rear?
Here is the long story if you care.

Sangre de San Juans (another horrible RR)
Welcome to another horrible RR. I'm leaving Monday to ride down the Sangre de Christos into New Mexico and come back up the eastern san juans. Rising...
