On a recent ride, I spent a little time on a highway and heard a rhythmic 'clicking' as my wheels turned. Got home and found this buried in my rear tire. Tire had not lost any air. Pulled out the nail, jammed in a plug, and about 600 miles later the tire is still in use. I didn't have to run a slow, heavy, rough-riding tire, didn't have to change a tube on the side of the highway in 40-degree temps, and the "fix" took about 60 seconds in the comfort of my garage.

But yeah, Leisesturm , tubeless tires are misery!
