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

Tonight tubeless was a victim of its own success.

Prepared bike and pumped tyres about an hour before setting off for club ride.

Just as I was going to leave I felt the rear tyre, it had lost a bit of pressure so I pumped it up, hoping it would seal as I was riding along. Riding to the meeting point I felt the odd spray of sealant on the back of my calf, but thought nothing of it.

Met up with club and started riding, person behind said she was getting odd drops of rain or spray and I realised my tyre was leaking a little. Carried on and suddenly it started pissing out sealant. I stopped and told the others to carry on.

Shoved a worm into the hole but needed to put more air in. That all went fine, but removing lezyne pump and the core of the valve came out (I had released the pressure by undoing the other end of the nozzle from the pump itself). The problem is that it has been so long since I needed to fix a puncture at the roadside that the pump had unbeknownst to me corroded and the aluminium has become rough and swollen. After three attempts I managed to pump up the tyre and when removing pump from valve pinch the valve core and and twist it back into place without losing too much pressure.

Once done the tyre held pressure and I got home safely. Am confident the worm has done its job but now want a pump that does not thread onto a valve core.

I now trust tubeless more than my lezyne pump. Who makes a half decent road pump?
