These days cars are 100% TL and no liquid sealant, and it works just fine. So, whats the difference? Cars ship (:-) with tyres that doesn't puncture every two "rides", the pressure is MUCH lower and mounting standardized tyres to standardized rims is squarely in the hands of professionals with the proper tools. Its nothing like the diy bike mechanic trying to fit a semi compliant tyre to a semi compliant rim with amateur tools.
Giant ship bikes with a full tubeless setup. The sealant is added by the shop just before delivery so it doesn’t dry out in storage. It’s not that hard.
