Bonza, I'll do that.
I'd have happily done the rest of the ride, but the glue-bed under the section of the tub which I peeled off first came away from the rim, and I just didn't have quite enough faith in my pre-glued tub staying on in extremis.
I was also, to be fair, possibly looking for an excuse to bail.
When I pulled the spare tub off last night it was on pretty effectively.
PitStop- obviously didn't work yesterday, I've come to the conclusion that if the tyre goes down over a period of time (say: 30 seconds) sealant will help you, if the hole vents the entire contents of the tyre at once then it's change the tyre time.
