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.

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!
