Dollar bills are our go to boots for road side repairs, generally. We did just get Park Tools adhesive tire patches, I just replaced a dollar bill with one the other day. We've also used pieces of an old Tuffy tire liner. I've honestly never looked at them after removal.

When we had our tandem, we had a blow out and tried to use a dollar bill for a boot. We had a very nice hole in the dollar bill when the tube blew through it after we pumped up the tire. Took about 5 minutes (no, the pressure wasn't that high, and the gash wasn't that big).

I used a dollar bill after I had 4 flats on a century 6 years ago. However, I would never keep it in there! It's for emergencies, only. I put a new tire on as soon as I got home.
