See it's stories like this that make me stick with tubes... just sounds like an absolute ball ache running tubeless.
TM-
Exactly what I've done. I'm willing to give it another go with Stan's, but if the same happens again I'll happily stick with tubes.
In fairness, sticking a tube in didn't take any longer than fixing a normal puncture. It was a touch messier but I packed latex gloves with that in mind so wasn't a problem.

Cool dudes rock tubes.

I've had about 5 small punctures on mine, 3 rear, 2 front. All small, a mm or so. None have sealed, all have just bubbled sealant out gradually until the tyre is completely flat. It's slow, two happened on my 5 mile commute and I got home fine before the pressure loss was too much to ride. The rest were out on long rides and resulted in a tube needing to go in and me calling it a fucking piece of shit over and over again.
It might be the tyres, the sealant or the rims. It's my first time tubeless so until I try a different tyre and/or sealant I can't really fairly judge. I think @amey has had similar grip experiences with Compass tyres.
