In the last 5 years, I have yet to fix a flat while riding tubeless. But you have to carry a couple of tubes regardless. Kind of negates any advantage to running tubeless, especially at 65. a bottle for sealant. Plus that dried up crap you need to clean out.

How many of you converted to tubeless. Did u decide to switch back.
You twice mention cleaning out the old crap? Why?

Very happy with tubeless but that’s me, just finished a month long tour in South East Asia riding a light supple performance tire with no flats. That is only possible with tubeless.
