i dont believe those cans work in a tube. your best bet is to learn how to change a tube or patch it with heavy duty patch kit.

It took me a while to get fully set up to the point where im confidant that i could fix a flat on my own in the whops.
This is a handy item.

Alternatively you could carry some long 8mm cable ties and use them to sinch tire to rim and limp out.
What part of the country are you in?
I agree the best way is to have a spare tube and or patch’s and a repair kit. Heavy duty tubes are ok but if you run low pressures you risk the tyre turning on the rim and damaging the valve. Heavy duty tubes grip the tyre less well than standard tubes at lower pressures

dug out these links, given the dudes not off road andwould depend on size of hole and not in side wall
!00% i should learn to change and carry all required, I live in Murchison top of the south, keen to ride.
My experience was the weld blew out the hole in tube and then bubbled out around my spokes. Was a biggish hole mind you. Im in Auckland, as a fellow Drz rider I would have shown you a few of my tricks. They are a good, sturdy and dependable steed. Enjoy yourself.
cheers Staggerlee, yup i love ma drzy, id be keen to hear of your tricks, would you start a thread?
