You got lucky. Tubeless on road bike is the worst idea anybody has had since a certain German chancellor decided to expand his borders. The relatively high pressure to volume ratios on typical road tyres mean that you tend to lose pressure so quickly, that if it happens on a fast descent, it gets really ‘interesting’ really quickly. If you get a side wall slice, worms won’t help, and fitting a tube is your only sensible option, which negates the whole point. The only positive about tubeless, is that you can run really low pressures, without pinch flats, which is fine, on a mountain bike. If you run those low pressures on a typical road bike tyre ( 23mm to 25mm) a). You’re an idiot, and b). You’re an idiot, IMHO.After two years of using tubeless had my first puncture yesterday, that sealant couldn’t cope with. Used a worm to plug the hole, no problem.
Much easier and quicker than messing around with inner tubes!
You keep spouting this nonsense, just because you could not get tubeless to work does not mean that hundreds of thousands of other people are wrong for using it very successfully.You got lucky.

In my experience, tubeless provides plenty of opportunity for this to occur!A lot of problems encountered using tubeless are caused by user error IMHO.
as tubular are phased out!

I agree however it seems to being considered, similarly not long ago discs were being discussed in a similar. Vein.Unlikely to happen anytime soon, imo
