Mushroom Plug
A mushroom plug (or combination patch-plug) is the industry-standard repair unit for punctured tubeless tyres. Shaped like a mushroom, the stem fills the puncture hole while the flat head patches the inner liner from inside. This dual-action repair seals both the inner liner and the penetration channel, meeting BS AU 159 requirements for a permanent repair.
