Tubes or tubeless

I'm making the switch. I like my dura ace wheels. I'm going to run as intended and go tubeless. This a big move for me as I have been using tubes since 73'.

From: 6 miles inland from the coast of Sussex, in the South East of England

Bikes: Dale MT2000. Bianchi FS920 Kona Explosif. Giant TCR C. Boreas Ignis. Pinarello Fp Uno.

Still worried about tubeless- There is not the variety of tyres availble to go "IT" and when you do puncture- you have to run a tube in any case.

Punctures still occur with tubeless.
