I headed off to a week-long supported tour on a pretty worn set of tubeless tires. On maybe the third day, just as I was about to pull into a rest stop. I rolled over a very sharp piece of rock and put a big hole in the rear. (There was a gravel pit near by.) Couldn't get the tire to hold more than 60 lbs. despite having good sealant, and the mechanical support for tubeless back then (2014) was not good. Ended up putting a Gatorskin on the wheel. Man. Was the ride slow and harsh. I could not help thinking about all the people on BF who rave about them and them reminded myself that some people love Ragu and Prego pasta sauces.
