Tubeless tires, a couple of questions.
I have read advertisements for tubeless tires. The ads seem to promote "less flats".
How can a tubeless tire prevent flats more than a tire/tube combo?
How do you fix a flat in a tubeless tire?
What a re the benefits of tubeless tire?

Benefits of going tubeless are lighter weight, less prone to flats, and can run lower air pressures without fear of a pinch flat. At least that's the way it is for mountain biking.
A tubeless tire resists flats more because you are running slime or equivalent in the tires.

Throw the stick!!!!
To fix the flats you can either use a tubeless tire patch or insert a tube.
Benefits are less weight, less flats, lower tire pressure so more comfortable ride.
