Right; that makes sense.
A friend who is a tubeless fan got the LBS to switch the bike to tubeless. When I asked about roadside repair, the answer was "I'll put in the tube I carry if that's necessary".
"Have you practiced takng the tubeless tire off the rim and re-installing?"
"No, I'm not going to do that for fun since it will be so messy with the sealant and I'm not sure I can re-seat the bead with my floor pump."
Living on the edge.
The one time that friend had a tubeless big leak, he was near home/LBS and limped back with no drama, so that part worked OK.
