Ah you quoted my post just as I was editing to something less incendiary.
Still blx though. You cannot have a cut in a tubeless tyre. The sealant wont seal it. All that happens is the tyre deflates. If anything it is safer than a tubed as you wont get a blowout. On tubed, the inner tube starts to poke out of the cut, gets abraided by the road surface and pops. Instant blow out and cery dangerous.
What you describe as a pinhole tyre is just a worn tyre. Eventually youll notice frequent loses of pressure indicating time for a new tyre. With a tubed tyre you just get more punctures (and more inconvenience)

I just didn't get on with them on my Crests that's all.
I'm lucky enough not to have had any more than two punctures in my time (touch wood).
I'm in the massive minority I know,but the simplicity of a tube and better feel gets my vote.
Just my opinion mind
Do you mean in all your time cycling ?
That's an amazing statistic.
Not if he has only been out twice

Love the fact that you have 3 decades of biking under your belt.
What bike did you have ? .My old friend (who compteted as a speed skater in Calgary) had a Muddy Fox when they were well respected.Even back then it looked a pretty rugged piece of kit.
By todays standards it would look anorexic.

I first raced bikes in 1970, I had ridden for a bit before then with a local club. Cross was my preferred style, so a mtb was a natural progression, first mtb not sure, Raliegh, Muddy Fox, Dawes, I can though remember it having a 21or more inch frame, I now ride a 16 or smaller. The only reason I do not race now is due to arthritis, does not stop me cycling though.
