I've been tubeless on the road for about 6 months and I have found that I love it. I am not typically one to be an early adopter of new tech, I usually let people pay for the experience of being first and and then just wait and watch to see if I want to join in or applaud myself for letting it pass me by. It took me about 8 years to get a cell phone, but this is something I think I could be an early adopter on. There have been times where I had the joy of flatting both tires at once and then realizing about a mile or 2 up the road, I did not find all the offending debris in my tire and I flatted a 3 time and I only had to spares with me and no tube patches. I like the idea of tubeless but don't like the idea of having to deal with the mess of the sealant as I put in a tube I have the unfortunately situation where the sealant will not plug it.

If this is something that will allow me to make it safely home at a slightly slower speed, allowing me to deal with the tire in my garage, yea, that I find appealing and could jump on that bandwagon.
