as far as I know, it's hard to find a shop that will patch a SB tire. hell, some won't even patch a cruiser tire that has a tube.
it used to be "common" knowledge that you don't plug a SB tire because of the speeds they can hit, cornering forces.
I don't know how long those plug patches have been out but that's what I use and won't use anything else given the chance. if stuck out somewhere that I couldn't get one installed I'd use a rope plug but I'd rather have the plug patch.
I've been well over 100mph on both plug patch and a cord patch with no problems.
