Tubeless question

Hi All

With all the gales we have had a lot of blackthorn blowing back out of the hedges onto the trails we ride with the inevitable results.

So converted both bikes to tubeless so far so good, just wondering if you can see a thorn in you your tyre should you pull them out, leave them alone or doesn't it really matter ?

    Don't think it really matters? I've just change my summer tyres to winter tyres and found 3 thorns in my rear tyre, only visible from the inside, didn't cause any problems.

    Leave it in until you finish the ride, then pull it out, you can lose a bit of pressure while the sealant does it's thing so I usually leave it in until the end of the ride.
