Similarly, tubes in a tubeless tire won't help you get home if there's a bear chasing you either, even if the initial bear attack is the cause for your tubeless tire to go flat. | |
| Sep 3, 2023 at 19:19 | comment | added | Paul H | @user66598 Hundreds of thorns in any tire is an issue. Whether or not the setup is tubeless is orthogonal to the main issue (besides the fact that the tubeless setup saved you from repairing a for each of the initial goathead punctures) | |
| Sep 3, 2023 at 19:19 | comment | added | Paul H | @Renaud that's exactly my point. Tubeless or not, this situation sucks. | |
| Sep 3, 2023 at 13:38 | comment | added | user66598 | I accidentally went thru a small section (maybe 100') of goathead vines once on an old ten speed with 27" gatorskins and standard tubes. One tire was flat almost instantly and the other went flat within a couple minutes. When I pulled both tubes out I discovered 7 punctures, but I patched them, got the thorns out of the tires and proceeded as normal. With hundreds of thorns in a tubeless tire that's just not possible. | |

| Sep 3, 2023 at 1:15 | comment | added | Paul H | If you weren’t running tubeless and you had dozens of goatheads in your tire, you’d be in the exact same situation. Over the past decade I’ve gotten four flats on my 5 different bikes setup with tubeless tires — two sidewall cuts and two pinch flats. Tubes easily got me home in all cases. | |
