Just a little tubeless evangelism here for anyone finding this thread if researching making the leap. Only two puncture occasions (to my knowledge) to speak of, 4 months in. First occasion was the rear; heard the dreaded hissing, then spent the next 3 seconds wondering if it would seal (it did). Then, this morning, wet roads, cue audible hiss from front tyre - look down to see sealant shooting out, then sealed, all within a second with un-noticeable loss of pressure. Front of the bike looks like a prop from a gay porn film, but otherwise completely impressed with the tubeless experience so far. Come on @hippy, make the jump.
TL/DR: Tubeless is the phuture
