Yes. Add the sealant that leaks everywhere on the floor to the recipe and you get a real mess. I only wished it was as easy as replacing a tube. Tubeless is great, but it comes with a price. My bad experience is clearly biasing me.

I dropped my wheel at the LBS so they can mount it. I was 0.0001 seconds away from throwing it on the wall. I just don't have the patience needed for that.
