HowardSteele Posted December 26, 2015 Share 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 Share Don't pull out. Leave to fall out/break off and the tyres to seal on their own. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
