Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Even if you carry a spare tube it is always a good idea to carry a patch kit. I like the Park Pre-Glued Patches, they are quick to install, hold long enough to get you home, the kit weighs next to nothing and takes virtually no space. Cheap insurance. On of my friends that rides tubeless also carries the same patches. He says they seal well enough on the casing to get you home in the event the bacon doesn't seal the puncture.

Not always, but it's a huge improvement over tubes

I meet people all the time that doubt the effectiveness of tubeless. They are usually stopped on the side of the road, holding up a group of friends, and fixing a flat.
