You'll need to check the Stan's or whatever sealant you use every two to three months. The stuff will dry and sometimes separate. I've had it separate on me and it did not seal my puncture.
Always carry a tube as a backup. The Stan's will not always seal.
Yeah, we wound up switching to a specialized tire, don't remember which one, and then they set up fast and both were done. The conti's felt like a better tire than the specialized, but they just weren't working well with those rims.
My bike is in and it comes tubeless ready, so the lbs will take care of them the first time for me.
