• Just clicked for my first tubeless set of hoops (Hunt-Mason CX's to go on a Kinesis Tripster AT). This will be not only my first bike with tubless, but also my first with discs, or 11 speed for that matter. Fortunately it does have a threaded BB so the Luddite in me is not completely perturbed.

    What do you tubeless folk carry with you for roadside repair in the event that the sealant isn't doing the job. My current take on it is that one needs the following (which seems slightly excessive):

    • tubeless levers
    • CO2
    • 'worms'
    • mini-pump in case of multiple punctures
    • tyre boot
    • Something to remove the valve core with
    • Spare tube in case it all goes wrong
  • no tube
    no CO2 if you're already carrying a pump
    no boot if you have a 5 quid note
    add a little bottle of sealant
    done

  • I go the other way - I take the same kit as if I was running tubes; I've had 2 non-sealed tubeless punctures before and wouldn't want to risk it otherwise. And if I'm taking a tube anyway, then no need to take any other extra bits as it either seals or I chuck a tube in it, as normal.

  • why care a tyre boot, tube and levers. With the right sized worms I could my little finger through a tyre and still be able to fix it well enough to ride. Add flexible superglue.
