I've got friends that run the tubeless system on their dirtbikes and like it - the principle advantage is they can run lower pressures which isn't a thing for road bikes. They're expensive too.
Maybe just ask the garage to fit a proper Michelin or Bridgestone HD tube to the loose wheels? There's a world of difference between good HD tubes and the shit you get most of the time.
Shame the slime didn't work!

I think I'll buy the bits to do the tubeless conversion plus a decent rear tube. Cost wise as I said the current tyres are tubeless, so the big cost isn't present.
It's only the 2nd puncture I've had in 5yrs so it's not like I'm getting them all the time. But I'd like to be able to use a plug rather than go through the faff of removing the rear wheel - which is a proper pain.

The slime hasn't fixed my slow rear puncture and it's now not as slow as it was.
To keep costs down I planned to do what I did last time and take the wheel to my garage to get them to fit a new tube. However.....
.... My tyres are tubeless compatible, even if my rims aren't. I've wondered on and off about converting them for a while and then this popped up on my feed:

Kinda just want to sound out the idea really. If I'm taking the wheel off anyway for the sake of the cost of the sealant and valve core I feel like I may as well, right?
The downsides are:
Leavers and rim gaurds can be bought. Although it won't be comfortable, I've got a center stand, so can use that to evenly apply the sealant. Then I just take the tyre and rim to a fitter, right?
In terms of a shopping list does anyone have any recommendations for:
(ideally ones that don't brake the bank, but aren't shit)
