Can a puncture in a tubeless tyre be repaired?
Once home (after fitting an inner tube &/or tyre boot) it is possible to repair smaller cuts in a tubeless tyre with tube patches.
Can you get snakebite on a tubeless tyre?
You can still get snakebite punctures with tubeless too, so make sure you’re running adequate pressures in your tyres, especially over harsh or rocky terrain to avoid a nasty double puncture from impact on the rim. These are notoriously tricky to fix, with holes often too close to the tyre bead.
How often should you check your tubeless tyres?
The main maintenance that you will need to carry out on your tubeless tyres is ensuring that the sealant remains topped up. The sealant is water based and so it can dry out, the general rule is to check the sealant levels every couple of months and if required top them up.
