I occasionally stop and take pictures to post in Strava so my followers who ride the same streets have some warning of possible hazards. There was a cyclist in a fast peloton that hit a pothole a few hundred feet from my picture above 5-6 yrs ago and died from his head injury. He was experienced and rode with the fastest of the 3 Montrose groups with 40-100 in each peloton.
Back to the topic, I do have tubeless tires and rims but I haven’t tried them yet. I may not since the TPU tubes weigh 36g and I can carry 2-3 of them, some Park GP-2 patches and a micro pump, CO2 cartridge, and dollar bill tire boots. That should get me home even with multiple flats.
