Ideally you would run tubeless tyres on a hookless rim but I've a set of continental cyclo Cross tyres 700x35 not being used. They won't work tubeless. The rims are light bycicle carbon rims.

There's lot out there in the Internet that says I will die instantly in a ball of flames but if I get a puncture on tubeless I can't fix I put a tube in and carry on and don't give it a 2nd thought.

So what's the consensus? Yay or nay?

Any thoughts or experience much appreciated

Thanks

A tube inside a punctured tubeless tyre is a different proposition to a tube inside a tubed tyre.

The tube is not the issue.

The bead on a tubeless tyre has a different specification to tubed tyres. I.e. the bead can be looser and with larger tolerance.
