Monster Thorns, tubless and Stan's?
I picked up some huge thorns today in my rear Endomorph. Actually, these were 2 of 4 flats today (see pics.) I
had stan's in the tubeless tire and it sealed everything up after I pulled out the obstructions.
I have to say that I was pretty impressed that it sealed everything up.
Do I need to pull the tire and patch it from the inside or is the Stan's considered a reliable repair?
Thanks for any advice.

The stans should hold, but you may need to add some more now.
I see hills.
I want to climb them.

Shake the wheel to listen for sealant sloshing about first

I pilled a big thorn out of my front tire three weeks ago. It sealed up and I've ridden a few times since. All's well.

+1 - just ride it unless you are low on Stan's

I've pulled several thorns like that from my tires, Stan's seems to hold. I don't recall any of those holes opening back up.

Those are some good size thorns. Aren't you glad you weren't running tubes.

Stan's should be paying you for such an endorsement.
I might just revisit tubeless when the new bike arrives.

Are those suckers from a honey locust?

I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the product....the irony is that I had three big penetrations in my rear tire during the ride that I had to pull out and the stan's sealed up. Then I got back to my car and inspected the tires. I pulled out a little normal small thorn and the next thing I know, my tire is puking stan's and won't seal! I got home and put another scoop in and it sealed up. I think that my stan's didn't have enough solid particles to seal up the hole. My only concern was whether or not stan's was a good long term solution for such big holes.

I have no idea but I heard them clank, clank, clanking there way through my frame and thought that I picked up a stick in my spokes, looked at the tire and said WTF.

It is hard to ride around here without tubeless. There are always sections of trails lined with thorns on every ride. I would give up front suspension before I gave up tubeless.
Thanks for the replies guys, I guess I'll keep running them and see what happens. I have to say that I am loving the fat bike experience even if those big tires do pick up a lot of stuff on the trail.
