Thats why you use veloplugs, and not tape. I've tinkered with mine numerous times, and the plugs still sit tight. The tool is pretty standard, and easy to carry. If you have a little saddle bag for a spare tube. Probably not availible at Halfords, and other poor bikeshops I guess.
So if you cycle around town. Fair enough, the more common nipple type is an advantage. But if you're out of town, surely you carry the appropriate tool for your wheels?
I broke a spoke in Richmond Park on my Roval wheels, I rode past 5 bike shops on the way home, including Putney cycles, Holdsworth, Cycle Surgery, and an Evans. None of them had the correct tool. I ended sticking my bike in an Addison Lee
