The other day I rode through some thorns and apparently got many punctures. Basically one per inch all along my rear tire. Not only did I make it home safely but I actually haven't even noticed. This morning as I was heading for my ride I noticed my tire was a tiny bit softer and upon closer inspection I saw all the sealant spots. Hit it with two pumps of air and had an uneventful ride. No fuss whatsoever.

Little appreciation post for the humble tubeless system

    Similar experience on my mtb, I went to change out my tires and found a dozen or so big thorns in each tire. I had no idea they were there or how long ago it happened. I will never understand the tube for life guys.

  2. What sealant do you guys use?
    Just posted pictures of a small puncture that Milkit wasn’t able to seal.
