I've never really found a good way to check - visual check can miss things, running your hand around the inside works but you're liable to get something such in your hand! Wiping a around can work. But I've not come up with anything better? Maybe a tissue, or microfibre cloth will snag more easily and avoid missing something?


I take the chance and run my hand on the inside. Gloves should usually work well too, though I use fingerless on road.

For off-road riding (cross) I pinch flat almost exclusively so I don’t bother checking around. It is pretty obvious when you smack a root or rock.


I am often still wearing my biking gloves anyways, so I run my hand around inside, and then toss them in the wash when I get home.
