So had my first tubeless puncture that did not seal yesterday.
4mm cut across the top of the tread on my Schwalbe S Ones. Lots of Stans sprayed under the mudguard but to big for it to seal.
Had invested in the Genuine Innovations tubeless seal kit last year and chucked it in the commuter rucksack.
So on a coldish wet dark night it was going to be a good test of the practicalities of real world use.
Dug out the little fork tool thing and pulled an anchovie from the kit. This was a small challenge but managed to get it free. It then took a couple of minutes to thread it into the tool. I dare say with practice you would get faster (might be an idea to pre thread one and keep it in a wee bag to save time).
Jabbed the tool into the hole (takes a bit of pressure to get it in) gave it a quick twist and pulled. It came our easily leaving the anchovie in place. Pumped the tyre back up to 80 psi with no leaking. Puncture fixed without even having to take the wheel off!
Two days of riding on it now and no loss of pressure.
Overall pretty impressed, will be interesting to see if it holds up longer term but definitely takes the hassle out of fixing a puncture. Worth the £5 and couple of grams of weight.
