Tubeless slime

[16vdady]

So on my ride today I had my first puncture with my tubeless set up.
It was more of a small slit in the tyre than a piercing. I could see and hear the slime/air coming from the hole.
I got some air back in the tyre to ride back to the car.
Back at the car I topped the pressure back up and the slime seems to be holding the pressure.
Now my question is do I just leave be or do I need to do something else??

If it keep the air in, just ride your bike.
And put some new sealant in your tire

Some people are saying I need to plug it?
But it has sealed so part of me thinks leave it alone?
I have topped up sealant?

If you get a chance, whip the tyre off and repair the inside of the tyre, a bit like repairing an inner tube with a puncture repair kit. I.e. patch and vulcanising glue. No need to worry about it after that.

The plug you're on about is more something to do on the trail if a big hole won't seal. It's not permanent, although can last months.

Otherwise it'll probably be fine it the slime has sealed it, maybe a very slow deflation

@16vdady If it is a small slit, I would not trust it. Even if you have topped up the sealant as advised by @Mcharza don't forget that although sealants are excellent, they are not miracle workers!

Either do what @Jakejake says (internal patch), or plug it like others have said. There are loads of different patches you could use and you probably already have a tube patch that would work. But you have to remove the tyre and clean it up first, which is a bit of a pain. Or you take a look at plug kits and do the job without having to remove the tyre. Loads of different ones of those too!

What I would not do is to just leave it and hope for the best.

Ive had muc off sealant in mine. Had a small slit in my tire wich the sealant diddnt fully seal. I could put a screwdriver in the hole wich the sealant sealed but still some very tiny bubbles kept comming out. Pluged it and tire worked for another 1500km.
