Generally speaking the more acuter the angle, the harder the repair is to do and the less likely it is to stick.
This is because, with any puncture, you have to drill through the path of the puncture to clean out the hole, making it ready for the bung. When this puncture channel runs at an acute angle through the tyre, it can change its course through the multiple layers of the tyre making it very difficult to properly chase out.
Then when you come to feeding the puncture repair mushroom through the hole (it’s a piece of wire coated in a thick layer of rubber) it is tricky to get the bung back through the hole when the puncture is at an angle. When it is at 90-degrees to the tyre’s surface, it’s a lot easier.
If your tyre is punctured by a blade, like a Stanley blade, whether it is at an angle or not, a puncture repair is a no go.
If you do think you can repair the puncture, you can do it yourself or take it to a workshop and ask them to do it. You can buy our motorcycle puncture repair kit to fix the puncture yourself in minutes.
