Tubeless tire patches?
I'm looking for some kind of small patch kit that I can carry on my commutes to repair a tubeless tire. I'm thinking one of those that you patch from the inside of the tire. I'm finding various options that repair tubes, but I'm guessing they won't work on the tire itself. Any suggestions?

I've rarely had a tubeless tire not plug as long as the sealant inside has been good.
Last year on the Tour Divide, my son took a nick in the side of his Vittoria Mezcals that would not seal for anything. We stopped for a break, popped the bead and put a regular tube patch on the inside. It has held solid ever since.

Assuming that you are running tubeless with sealant, patching from the inside is a shop job, not something you can do on the road. If you don't use sealant, and the puncture is small, and you can find it, and patch it, almost any patch kit can fix the puncture.

This is a kit mainly made to repair car tires, not a good choice for road bike tires.
If you ride tubeless, the first thing is to explain what sort of bike you ride and what width tire

I run plus tires on my bikepacking setup. Add sealant before I go, carry some with me to. I also bring a curved needle, carpet thread and super glue, all have worked well. Used them on a 1/4 gash in the side wall.
