This happened yesterday, one mile into my 15- mile commute home. Pulled the screw, popped in a Stan’s dart, (it shot out due to air pressure so I picked it up and jammed it back in) one 16g CO2 cartridge later I was on my way with nary a worry. Dart was nowhere to be seen when I got home, with about half the ride gravel, but pressure was fine. As an FYI, Challenge Getaway in 40mm on Norco Threshold.

Minor stuff I leave in the hole pump up and carry on. I find small stuff like thorns etc work perfectly well as plugs.
Had that happen this summer on a bike path social ride. Was able to get back to my office about 4-5 miles away to leave the bike there. Friend drove me home since I rode into work that day. Bike shop a day or two later was able to plug it temporarily until they could install the new tires.
I accidentally ran over a cactus the other day. Didn’t concern me
Lol
Sorry to tell you that, but you did get screwed with your tubeless tire.
FYI, it’s not good to use CO2 cartridges when you have tubeless. Most sealant works by reacting with CO2 in the atmosphere which causes it to harden. When you blast your tire with a ton of CO2 you’re likely going to cause most of the sealant in your tire to coagulate.
Screw on tires are new to me.
