Sorry if it sounds stuppid but how would I repare a puncture on a tubeless?
1) you put goo in a tubeless tyre when you fit it, the goo should seal most punctures
2) if the hole is too big for the goo you can use a plug kit
3) if that fails put a spare tube in so you can ride home and buy a new tyre...

apparently, I wouldn't really know as I still ride with tubes. :ROFLMAO:

Bought a bike in May setup tubeless. No problems for the 1st 800 miles. 28mm running at 75-80 psi, it’s very comfortable.
Did a sportive and had a puncture early on, it was a small split the sealant came through and didn’t seal the hole. I have a plug kit but my group persuaded me to put a tube in, that only lasted 5 miles before it punctured and I put another tube in. All fine after that.

On that day there were 7 punctures between us only 1 puncture was in a tubeless…

So I am currently tubeless on the front and tube on the back. I am going to take the tube out when I get time. It is noticeable that the ride is not as good with the tube in.

Get on Gravel- or a hard tail mtb. Loads nicer this time of year than a road bike, and there's plenty of options to ride, without the risk of a 44 tonner wiping you out.

I had one of those rare and now frowned upon events last week: A holiday abroad! :rolleyes: (sorry Greta, David Attenborough etc but feck you Johnson!)
Anyhoo, I even took one of my bikes, wrong choice as it turned out but hey ho, still nice to pedal with the sun on your back, albeit in a force 10 gale everyday...

That’s a rapid looking piece of kit.

This has got me thinking: Would there be any interest in a TFF Strava meet up on some random sportive next year?
It would have to be mid country to accomodate all and lessen our collective carbon footprint ( I'll plant a few trees to offset it, honest! :rolleyes:)
Thoughts?

Possibly, depending on location, date and course. Nothing too technical for me, had a bad crash a couple of years ago which seems to have lessened my ability to descend at speed.

I've had my 1st puncture on my new mountain bike after a year, it's tubeless and the valve core isn't removable, so not sure how I get more goo into it? Local bike shop reckons put a tube in it, but reading the discussion on here, people seem to rate tubeless? I like being able to run at low pressure. I jacked the pressure way up for a road run, so I'm wondering if I just blew some sealant out a hole and resealing with more goo will see me right, any advice?
