MTB Tubeless tyre repair

[Stark]

Hi Guys

 

Just before I waste more time or money I thought I ask here for some advice.

 

I'm still relatively new to cycling, having had my bike for only about a year, the first 6 months of which I had an endless number of punctures with the tubes and the Schwalbe RR which I subsequently replaced with the Schwalbe Hans Dampf 2.4 (with snakeskin) up front and Continental XKing 2.2 (with protection) on the rear when I went tubeless.  Since then it's been pretty much hassle free cycling, except for this last weekend during the Summer Fast one.  I managed to get two holes in the rear tyre.

 

So this being my first tubeless repair with the plugs I want to know how long this will last, should I hold thumbs and go out on my next ride or is it time to get a new tyre?

but to be honest I'm more worried about this one as it's in the sidewall... so much for the Protection :-(

Should last the lifetime of the tire. Maybe just cut off the protruding ends.

+1 on what Sniffie said.

 

If the plugs bother you, replace them with a descent patch in the inside next time the tire come off.

I would also top up the sealant in the tyre - specially of you inflated with a co2 cannister after the puncture. Some sealants turn to alien goo once the Co2 hits it.
