@mkwadee@mastodon.org.ukFirst day of #Winter and a couple of km from home, I rode over some twigs on the #CyclePath and suddenly I head a slap-slap-slap coming from the front #wheel. Looking down I saw on of them had become embedded in the #tyre. I hoped that the thorns from it hadn’t #punctured the #InnerTube but a few hundred metres further down, I knew it had deflated and I had to walk the rest of the home. So, another chore for me to do. Ho hum.
@mkwadee I keep arguing myself about whether or not to go tubeless on my commuter/tourer, but I keep coming down on the side of not, due to the narrow tyres and the difficulties in getting them off if needed. It's hard enough with tubes, never mind when it's sealed to the rim.
My MTB is another matter though, once it's warm enough to spend enough time outside fettling them, I'll convert those to tubeless, as they'll be relatively easy to get off even when sealed up.
@v_perjorative For me it's a minor chore.
