Had my first tubeless puncture today. We were riding along and my rear tire felt jumpy like it was out of round and then it smoothed out. I assumed that it was a chattery section in the road or something. 10 miles later, my group stopped at a convenient store and I saw the orange sealant spray on the rear of my bike. I couldn't find the puncture but the spray was a dead giveaway. The tire lost about 10-15 psi but still felt good. I hand pumped it back up but could have easily ridden it the 22 miles home.

PS: Yes, I have ridden in Illinois, but along the Mississippi where the organisers of that particular 24H TT found some rather steep even if shortish hills.

This reminds me, I still need to write all the local DOTs with my huge money-saving idea: "Stop chip sealing the bike lanes and shoulders!"

Nope. High cadence is where it's at!!!
'Til those brain impulse sharing devices hit the mainstream I'm just gonna keep trying to talk her into SPDs.
Or maybe get her to ride a fixed gear with 65 GI down some nice hills - after that, my preferred cadence will seem rather slothful, serene even.
