I live in the desert, and punctures are a way of life out here. I always use Green Slime in all my tubes. It will seal HUGE punctures, as long as they arent too far up on the sidewall. You will have to deflate the tube completely, then remove the valve from the stem (with the included tool) pour the slime in and replace the valve. Then pump it up and give a few good spins to evenly coat the inside of the tube. I have run over cactus and thorny bushes, and spent 20 minuts pulling litterally 40 to 50 thorns out of my tire, and had no loss of pressure. I swear by SLIME! ANyway, you can always pull off the tire and use an old fashioned bike patch kit if you prefer...

I'm in a cactus zone too... I'm about to become a buggy guy - I'd used the slime in the mountain bike tires, but know enough to throw it in the buggy tires when It comes....
