• How safe is it to ride with a plugged rear that could potentially open up again?

    I mean, that's what we all do with tubeless.

    Oh, except I don't use tubeless on the road. You're far more likely to be doing 70kph on the road and that's not when I want a plug leaving a tyre.

    It is on the rear though so it's less likely to be instant death, just an escalating speed wobble towards hospital. At least you're light so you don't hit the ground as hard.

    Personally I would ride it. Publicly I'd tell anyone else not to ride it.

    Haha, I wouldn't care if it was on the tread, but with it being the sidewall I'm a little more apprehensive

  • I might save it for commuting or something but if I was doing another long ride I'd not want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere having to boot the slashed tyre. So for me it does kind of depend on how much impact it letting go would have.

  • Another option that I didn't even think of until now is to remove the plug and do a proper patch job on it, if possible.
