I am now a full on tubeless convert
I had started to notice evidence of p*nctures that had sealed themselves. The other week for example I did a 100 mile square bashing ride taking in all sorts of shitty farm tracks, fields and other places I wasn't meant to be. The next day there was a lot of sealant splurged inside both mudguards, so it was obviously doing its job.
Then yesterday, in appaling conditions they did their job admirably again. At the half way stop, when I remounted, I noticed two little pools of sealant that had dripped off the ends of both mudguards. Obvioulsy made to look much worse by all the zillions of gallons of water dropping out of the sky. But the tyres were still up to pressure.
After about 100 miles or so, in the now biblical rain, there was a sudden staccato psssht.... psssht.... psssht.... from the front tyre. Each time the wheel turned I could see a jet of sealant jizzing straight out of the tyre. I was just thinking "Oooooh shiiiiit!" when it suddenly stopped! Sealed up so fast I only got to about "Ooooh shi". That was a life safer as I think I would have rather topped myself than have to try and fix a flat in that weather with hands that weren't really workng properly.
When I got home, I checked the pressures. Both tyres started the day at 80 psi. After 158 miles of awful weather on often shitty lanes the front was at 75 and the rear 70. When cleaning the bike this morning, I noticed the rear tyre in particular is a bit of a state (1000+ miles on them now) with cuts and holes all over the place. But still it stays up!
Now as we near winter and the fixer comes out, it's time to get some new tubeless wheels built up for that...
