I haven't fixed a puncture by the side of the road since March 2017
Because you couldn't get the tubeless tyre off to sort it out and called a taxi? :P

Have you not ridden over a nail or some random sharp thing?

But then, I've got tubeless so I suppose I shouldn't be speaking about this as I haven't fixed a puncture by the side of the road since March 2017 - the last time I used tubes!
That’s actually why I got them, for the tubeless bike.

I thought the general view was that they weren't great.
Can't remember where I read it but ISTR they are not patchable. So you need to carry more, as punctures tend to cluster, and there is always the risk of fucking up a repair and needing a second go.
