If I get a puncture on a tubeless tyre is there any way of mending it with kit I can carry with me?

Is there any kind of tube I can carry with me to use?

Thanks in advance

Assuming you are talking about modern tubless such as Stan's no tubes and not the old Tubular (tubs) which everyone thought of as tubeless. Then firstly they have a sealant which will fix most things. If all else fails you can just use an ordinary tube inside the tubless tyre .

MTB'ing the tubless tyres have the advantage you run at very low pressures without the danger of pinch flats. Road going versions I have yet to be convinced by

I don't use tubeless. A friend who does punctured on a ride. He just fitted a standard tube.
