Reducing flats

Tubeless has a triple advantage
  • no pinch flats
  • lower pressure means fewer punctures
  • sealant can self-seal punctures while you ride (and you may not even notice it)

We had a bad storm last month, day before a large community ride. There were so many flats, the SAG people ran out of spare tubes. I spent time changing several riders tubes, but I didn’t have any issues myself.

That’s not to say tubeless is perfect: it is definitely harder to put a tube in a tubeless tire because the sidewalls are much deeper. I’m still a huge fan.
