A small tale to encourage the lurkers...
Last weekend as I was about to turn right onto the excellent mid canal cycle path into Lincoln, on the Bomber County 200 ride, I had to short cut across some roadside crap, to avoid a car coming way too fast, and in that crap was some glass....
The sector 28 front went psst psst psst and when it's obvious like that I stop and put a finger on the hole to give it the best chance to seal... It was a really nasty cut, but seal it did, though at quite a reduced pressure.
I had a spare folding clincher and a couple of tubes in my bag, BUT I have never actually used it, since the tubeless has always got me round... So I carried on with the reduced pressure tubeless.
So I completed the last 50 km or so, and drove off to a travelodge in preparation for Sunday's Ironbridge 200.
Overnight I had added quite a bit more pressure so it was nearly how I always have it, but once I started riding Sunday morning it went psst psst psst again, in the first two or three kms, so I finger sealed it again, and am pleased to confirm that I completed the entire ride successfully...
I've replaced the tyre now, cos I'm not a fan of sticky internal patches, which never seem to stay in place, but I'm happy to prove the efficacy of tubeless again....
