Changed a tyre after 2-3 yrs of riding - 60+ thorns - no puncture stops in all that time.
Very impressed.

Perfect example of why 'I just put a tube in' won't work if you get a tubeless puncture.

It's worth the potential initial Choobless Pfaffing to avoid having to piss about repairing punctures.

I've never had success. Always endless punctures that don't seal etc. Not for me.

yeah, tubeless is all or nothing.... when it works it's fab when it doesn't it's the pits. I've recently had to replace a 819 rim as it cracked at the valve hole and every nipple is gummed up with sealant 🙁
