Tubeless Tyres -"saying the same things about tubeless tyres over and over again" Hippy read the first f**king post

you did not carry any worms them?

I had worms. I looked at the hole - it was really a small hole. I thought, "do i want to make this small hole which is slowly leaking air, into a big hole and hope that sticking one of these rubber things into it will make it better?" and decided "no".

I was concerned that sealant wasn't pissing out of the small hole, and therefore maybe no sealant was in the tyre which could mean I might end up with an unrideable tyre if I went down the "make a big hole" route.

When I eventually took the tyre off and fitted a tube, I found that the reason for no sealant pissing out was that it had gone to sludge and was all stuck to the inside of the tyre. I can only assume that this was due to exposure to air as I kept topping up the leaking tyre, coupled with the problems I had seating the tyre in the first place which required a number of re-inflations.

Anyway, I'm doing "three strikes and out". I'm up to two strikes now.
