If your concerned, take it to the next bike garage you pass to put your mind at rest.
I did initially think that...but then paranoia kicked in. Aye, I'll pop in tomorrow I'm constantly in bike garages lol. Shame it's on brand new tyres :rolleyes:

Excellent cheers KG, I was just a bit worried of running on the tyre and the pressure at speed causing a blow out or something. Is it worth trying to delve into the hole deeper to double check or should I just leave it be and see what happens?

thanks

Tubeless tyres do not blowout , only tubed. Thank feck! :)

Got to say I was under the impression a tyre going at speed with or without a tube was a bad thing :neutral:

A tubed tyre going at any speed has in my experience has been a keech your breechs moment.

Had loads of punctures front and back on tubeless and never had them go bang. Goes down slower. Or even left with 10psi.

hmmm that makes me more optimistic.

keep on top of your tyre pressures regularly. if it isnt losing pressure it isnt leaking.

Check them in teh same conditions regularly e.g. first thing in the morning before the sun has had a chance to warm them etc. +/- 1 psi and you'll be fine. If one of them starts creeping downwards then you have a leak.

Some patience and a bottle of washing up liquid is normally good enough for tracking it down.

Forgot to mention, get yourself a reasonable tyre pressure guage, dont trust the cheap thing stuck on the side of the foot pumps.

Those are just punctures. :)
Blow outs can be caused by a foreign object, but iirc most are usually the result of the tyre being run at an incorrect (low) pressure for a sustained period, resulting in a breakdown of the tyre due to overheating.
Previous impacts can also result in a "proper" blow out, but in those instances the damage was usually inflicted on the sidewall of the tyre. Which is why you're supposed to look for bulges when you do your checks.

Stramasher,I had a bit of "L" shaped metal which I couldn't avoid,the front was punctured but the rear went bang where the metal caught the tyre wall.
It was your comment that tubeless don't have blowouts
Michelin had a recall last year for fronts that were delaminating and blowing out, all, be it at excessive speeds. I had one on when I came to Scotland last year and had to have it changed F.O.C. when I got home
I see your point that normal punctures tend to go down slower on tubeless tyres as
against tubed being more likely to deflate almost immediately.
