As one other poster very delicately put, Only a moron would ride tubeless without a spare tube, or something to that effect. Delicate or indelecate, he is right and you should never be in that position unless I can’t thing of a scenario, which is possible.
Actually the scenario I was thinking about was where you could easily use a Dynaplug to seal the hole, but the tyre had unseated making it very unlikely to re-seat tubeless using just a mini-pump. So then you would have the extra hassle of fitting a tube just so you could re-seat the tyre. So I was wondering if CO2 would avoid this by re-seating the tyre tubeless.
In reality I’ve never had a tubeless tyre actually unseat out on the road or trail. So I’ve never had any trouble adding air after a tubeless repair.
