Re: FLAT Tire
Spoked wheels have tubes in the tires and you can't plug them, The tire has to be removed to replace the tube.
Carrying tire repair kits and a compressor won't help you if you can't remove the wheel. That's what cell phones are for.
If you have tubeless tires on solid rims you may be able to repair it enough to get off the road to someplace where it can be more permanently repaired/replaced. You may get away with plugging a rear tire and riding it a while but a damaged front one should be replaced as a safety concern.
