shit. in reality if you flat especially this time of year do you want to mess with that gunk etc.even racers I know get rid of them and put tubes in- seems that people who dont ride their bikes much( racers who drive everywhere) have them most often, whatever though try em.

An expensive mistake. Either go tubular or stay with clinchers. These have the disadvantages of both and the benefits of neither.

Was out in the Surrey Hills last weekend - one of our group had a flat wtih tubeless; the gunk failed. 40 mins, plus three inner tubes to get him going again. There is no way I would ride them on an everyday bike; maybe for racing on, but that would be it.

Shit, gonna try them, hopefully the gunk won't fail on me. Was considering trying them without the gunk but definitely not now.

Was really thinking about them for my best wheels, not sure i'd ride them in winter, particulalrly as i've punctured 3 times in 2 weeks recently, though 2 were impact punctures(tubeless supposed to be better for resisting these)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
