HowardSteele Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Do you?....man i must say i'm a fan of tubeless,I resisted the transformation in the beginning but must confess they have certainly proven their worth .(we'll underplay the couple of occasions where the hole couldn't seal and called for a tube insert mmm rather messy and can see why some riders carry wet wipes).So my question is after a days riding and you check the tyres and find a collection of devil thorns / duweltjie or dubbeltjies whatever you call those those little pointy buggers i usually find with my bare feet.So the whole ones I remove but embedded in the tyre are the points of plenty more If i cant grab the protruding end with my finger nails i just normally leave them in,I suppose because they are pointy shaped they should dislodge after a couple of rides....explaining why sometimes i have slight unexplained tyre pressure loss.
Tumbleweed Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Don't pull out. Leave to fall out/break off and the tyres to seal on their own.
DJR Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Don't pull out. Leave to fall out/break off and the tyres to seal on their own.Trouble is, they are so difficult to ignore.....much like an itch!
BarHugger Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Leave it in and enjoy the ride.....pulling out will just lead to goo spray all over the place and instant limpness.
Shebeen Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 You can always pull out once all the fun is over
Odinson Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Leave it in and enjoy the ride.....pulling out will just lead to goo spray all over the place and instant limpness. Beautiful, just beautiful...
Lurch the stalker Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Leave it in and enjoy the ride.....pulling out will just lead to goo spray all over the place and instant limpness.Beautiful, just beautiful... I have to agree with Odinson, that was such a beautiful piece of writing BarHugger. haha
Tumbleweed Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Trouble is, they are so difficult to ignore.....much like an itch! Hahahaha! Ja, for sure. Especially at the end of a day on something like Mashatu...you see more thorns than tyre rubber!
T-Bob Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Ahhhh.... okay it's something totally different to what I thought it was going to be when I clicked on this. Phew.
Lurch the stalker Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Ahhhh.... okay it's something totally different to what I thought it was going to be when I clicked on this. Phew. ...but we clicked on it anyway, so what does that say about all of us...?
arendoog Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 Don,t create problems by pulling out and never do it in the starting pen
T-Bob Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 ...but we clicked on it anyway, so what does that say about all of us...? Sex Ed' isn't working if we resort to a cycling forum to solve this eternal question?
'Dale Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Yank them out and rotate hoop immediately to let the sealant do its work (You dirty minds you)
Thor Buttox Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 You okes are filthy. All this talk of goo and limpness, when the obvious answer is to insert a plug.
