Sealant is heavy and a hassle to deal with as well with the added hassle of being something that has to be refreshed regularly.
I
do ride in goathead infested areas and I've used Tuffys for 30 years or more. I never found them to be that much of a hassle nor am I appreciably slower with them. Of course stopping to fix a flat puts a huge dent in your overall speed so makes your choice.
Lately, I've not been using them because many tires have the liner integrated into the tire so Tuffys aren't needed.
