@@pat_unit ah c'mon, the tubeless tape is already in place and cleaning your rim and applying new tubless tape in a decent way is the most difficult job and that is conveniently left out here. Getting the tyre to pop right without a good pump or even a compressor (not all days in my backpack when out riding) is not a given.
I mean, she left home right? Why not do it there instead of in the field. From tubeless to an inner is more logic if you run a big puncture.

For those reading this you need special tubeless tyres which in not explained. Tyres must be tubeless ready which means the sidewalls are reinforced. The tyres are marked saying TPR.

tubeless tires were put on to bicycles because of less rolling resistance, they can operate at lower pressures, less friction between the tube and tyre etc.. low pressure grip etc..

Tubes are also a bit easier for day to day, anyone else comes at me with stupid waffle about how they find it super easy to fit and run tubeless needs to shut the hell up, lots of people don't get on with them, even some quite technical people dont, I know this because i try to help my customers and others, I can use them, but.. why am i paying for liquid, and expensive rims / tyres ?

[@privatemale27]

I haven't tried it yet, but read you need to add more sealant every 6 months and completely replace it periodically. The tires also tend to slow leak, so you need to check the pressure before every ride. Tubeless doesn't seem worth it unless you're regularly riding on rough enough trails with low enough pressure that pinch flats are likely or you're riding frequently enough that your tires will actually wear out and need replacing often enough so you don't really need to worry about changing out the old sealant...

[@notyourrealfather]

When I did my first refresh of sealant with the valve at 6 like shown and indicated in the directions a bunch of it came back out like a geyser. No idea why. Almost every video I've seen no one has that issue 🤷

Because you pressurized the tire by pushing sealant in it.

Tubeless ready doesn’t mean that it has rim tape already installed… tubeless rims have shallow valleys so the airtight interface is easily achieved. Rim design certainly matters, in addition to being taped. Come on now there’s already a million videos on this that do a better job of explaining

Front tire blowouts are far more dangerous immediately losing all tire pressure has led me to break a derailleur, 2 times I've ruined carbon rims and a break leaver. Probably safe if you ride mellow trails that are well groomed dirt or small crushed rock. Even with a huge gash in a tubed tire with armour you're still riding on the inner tube.
