Personally, I don't mess with sealant on the tire/tubes, I line the inside of the tire with paper currency, dollar bills, they are lightweight, much tougher than most people think and great at preventing glass shard punctures.
oh, dang, I never thought of sliding the tube instead of dropping the wheel, lol. Brilliant. I mostly just pull out spots and patch them if i can see it which is fast and easy. But for some reason if my Marathon plus goes flat, it's a big hole that isn't ideal
for patching. Getting the rear wheel off is really difficult - the tolerance is so close I can barely muscle it on again.
