Better your tire than your barefoot.

I love tetanus

Tubeless would have saved that!
Nb; I run tubes I just wanted to be first to say it 🤣

It's probably true. It's a big nail but two pieces of bacon in each hole would probably plug that bad boy back up.

Or it’s so bad you have to go get a whole new tubless tire. Which is why I never see the point in them. If I get a nail in my tire, I just change the tube and hope the hole isn’t too bad on the rubber and move on. Tubeless I feel like you’re fucked. Idk enough about it, I could be wrong.

Couldn't you just run a tube for the remaining life of that tire if it's that damaged?

Yup. The best way to deal with going flat running tubeless is to just carry a spare tube in my opinion. It's lighter than a whole new tire and unless you have a crazy sidewall blowout you can just slap the tube in and keep going.

I would legit be repairing or replacing tubes at least once a week if I didn't run tubeless. I haven't had a single flat since I switched to tubeless probably 8,000 miles ago but I am constantly pulling spines and thorns out of my tires. I have done bacon repairs and then continued to run those tires for another 500 miles until I was ready to replace them from wear. You couldn't pay me to go back to running tubes.

Yep, I went tubless on all my bikes 3 years ago, haven’t ran flat once ever since, sometimes I wouldn’t want to ride because I feared running flat, that time has luckily passed

The end of your post is 100% correct.

I could be wrong.
Well you're correct about this at least:)
With tubeless you do the even notice 99% of the holes because the sealent plugs them right away. But with a huge screw like this, the tire would probably need replacing either way. If tubeless fails, you can still throw in a tube and finish the ride, but so far in last 10000km of gravel, road and trail riding, I've had to do that only once (and those tires were very fragile)

Lol I know I’m wrong after all the comments. But I’m leaving it up as it created a good discussion for people to learn. Thank you and everyone else for setting me straight. I get it now.

I lost 6 tubes to thorns in a month before converting. Tubeless has been hassle free for 2 years since - no flats, only regular sealant changes and gotta top off air pressure a bit more often.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man

If the puncture is bad enough that the sealant can't fix it, its not safe to ride with a tube either

Tubes!? Nice piggies

Where do you ride to pick up a welding rod?

Isle vista… crackheads scrap bikes in the woods and leave metal junk like traps.

Dude, the same thing happened to me last year! In through the sidewall, out through the tread

Your blue pants go nicely with the pipe bomb at the top of the pic.

And that's why I run tubeless 🤷

You deserve it for riding tubes in 2022

No one trying to enjoy riding bikes deserves this.

This comment is so dumb. I don’t know why I can’t stop laughing at it. Well done.
