You could put a tube patch on the inside of the tire itself. Park Tool makes a large, self-adhesive patch specifically for this purpose:

Compass tires are too expensive not to try! P.S. I have had trouble in the past with other tires tearing once a hole like this gets started, but not Compass or Grand Bois. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) > On Jul 2, 2019, at 3:41 PM, Ash <ashw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Tire experts, > > I mounted Compass Babayshoe Pass (EL) tires tubeless couple of months ago on > my Rivfied road bike.
