Dominatefear on October 13, 2023 5:08 pm Sucks that popped your tire. Inner tube replacements are pretty easy, just gotta deflate, replace tube and reinflate. On the go is definitely a bit more challenging. I don’t think the tire would need to be replaced, just the inner tube. This is assuming that you have a popped tire from those thorns. Could be something else entirely that I do not have context for.

Moonglum74 on October 13, 2023 6:08 pm Put slime in your tubes, seals exactly the same as in a tubeless set up. Or get some Tannus Armour inserts.
mrxexon on October 13, 2023 6:34 pm Inner tubes! Superior to tubeless in this case. I run the extra thick ones in combination with a half bottle of Slime. Cause I HATE changing flats…

I recommend tire inserts
