I have a reputation here as a flat magnet. After much cajoling, I finally took the tubeless plunge a couple months ago. Went out today for only the 3rd or 4th time since converting my tri bike to tubeless. The plan was a 60 mile training ride, preparing for IMAZ in November. Made it 48 miles. I was 8 miles past my 2nd turn-around point when I could tell the front tire didn't feel right. Pulled over and sure enough, saw lots of orangy-white goo bubbling out of the tire right on the side wall. I did have a plug kit but no bueno. Had to make the "damsel in distress" call.
