The added tubeless tyre patch should stop any air leaking out from the inside of the tyre. You may need to trim the tails of the plug that are left behind, but take care not to cut it too close to the tyre. This will allow some sealant to flow into the repair and fully seal things. Inflate the tyre to your desired pressure, taking additional caution with high-pressure road tyres, and rotate the wheel so that the plug is at the ground for a few minutes before you get going again. Then twist carefully to slowly remove the tool, leaving the two ends of the plug on the outside of the tyre. With the plug in the centre of the tool, insert it into the tyre, making sure you don’t push through fully. Most tools will come with a choice of different plug sizes to suit the size of the hole. Thread a tubeless plug through the head of the tubeless plug tool. Next, use your tubeless plug tool to make sure there’s a sufficiently large hole for the plug to enter – carefully insert the spike into the tyre to avoid damaging the rim tape, and twist to give a clean, round hole. Once you’ve found the puncture, remove any offending items (a pick or a small pair of pliers are a useful addition to your tool bag for this very purpose). While there are a number of tubeless repair kits out there, most work in a similar way, using a rubber plug to fill the hole. With these, there is no need to take off the tyre – just plug, re-inflate and go. Tubeless puncture plugs are a quick and effective solution.
Once cut down, a tubeless plug can be barely noticeable in the tyre’s tread.
