Stopping to fix a flat and I see this in the other tire. I only brought 1 spare tube. I have 30 more miles to get home. Stay in there little buddy.

Time for someone to reconsider tubeless? š
I fucking hate those things
Where are all the ātubeless doesnāt belong on road bikesā people?
Probably on the side of the road patching tubes from shit like this.
Punctured today, didnāt even stop riding. Sprayed the person on the group ride behind me. Life is good. Between Orange Seal, DynaPlugs and Vittoria Air Liner (Road) inserts, I donāt even carry tubes with me anymore. Goatheads, tacks, radial wire, etc. are the least challenging kinds of punctures for tubeless to deal withā¦it seals every single time.
Fuck you goat heads!
I pushed on for another 10 miles then called my SO who was in the area. The front had a slow leak I had to pump every 2 miles.
Tubeless is fine but I prefer 5000 GPs. This is a new bike and I like to keep the stock tires until I get a flat. All my other bikes have 5000s and Iāve never gotten a flat with them. Time to place that order.
I’ve picked up roughly 60 of these in aol out 20′ of riding once. I was glad to be tubeless that day.
No problem at all for a tubeless setup.
FUCK!
GHTs are the worst. On my new mountain bike I rode a trail in Aurora CO and quickly picked up dozens of these thorns. I made it back to my starting place with just enough air but those tubes were destroyed.
