you can run sealant in tubes too..... right?
i got my first puncture of 2016 a couple of weeks back. i saw the nail, and i heard so much air escaping i thought i'd be pushing the bike all the way home but i realised that the tire wasn't going flat. made it home on 40 PSI (out of about 70). my answer to that question i guess is 'well, possibly'
it obviously wasn't my first puncture, but sealant is sooooo useful that it made me forget about all that business.
