Call me a Numpty but i have just baught a tubless weelset!!!
I was riding up in the mendips the other day and it suddenly dawned on me that if i get a puncture i am copletly screwed!!! all the boys had puncture repair kits and or new innertubes but i had sweet FA
and was wondering if there is an easy solution. i know u can get tubless patches for rips in the tire and some sort of glue to heal thorn attacks but can any one shed some real light on the matter of, when u get a puncture and your weel is coverd in crap, what is the easyist way to fix it??? much apreciated!!!!

Never heard of innertubes ?
Run with some tubeless sealant inside the tyre... It's got to be a catastrophic blowout (which would knacker any normal tyre and tube setup anyway) to kill the tyre and leave you unable to ride home!
Also, keep a presta (schraeder valve tubes won't fit) tube in your camelbak, just in case... I've been riding tubeless for years now. The worst I've had is after riding through a load of thorns my tyre lost a bit of pressure, but the sealant had still sealed the holes. So I stopped, but a few psi back in, and off I rode!
Sealant. Tubes. Anchovies. Patches. Superglue. You are an antinumpty for going tubeless. You are a numpty for not taking any puncture precautions though.
Errr, carry an innertube?
Cheers mboy!!!
i take it the tubless sealant is pretty standard stuff!!!
and u can take the UST valve out on the trails hassle free too fit the innertube??
Fantastic bit of trolling, though, don't you think?

No problems
Yes, best stuff IMO is Stans Sealant
Yes you can, they're just held on (tightly mind) by a knurled lockring, undo it, remove the valve, you can put a presta valve tube straight in.
