@edd considers going tubeless:

Q2. How annoying is tubeless setups for commuters? Had a real comedy of errors with tubes during daycare pickup, including the mini pump pulling out the valve core on the spare, that I'd like to not repeat ever again.

@ascentale @edd @bikenite A2 #BikeNite In my experience, a tubeless setup is great for commuting: The kinda puncture you’re most likely to get is gonna seal; and you get to ride on nice tyres everyday rather than godawful ‘puncture resistant’ things!

@ascentale @edd @bikenite … with the caveat that I’d perhaps not if I were running skinny tyres. Say ~30mm minimum. #bikeNite

Oh, I ride a road bike with tubeless tires—it's perfect.

@daumenlutscher @ascentale @edd @bikenite I do have my old road bike set up with 25mm tubeless. It’s never sealed without losing pressure, but will inflate and hold afterwards, so I guess that’s still beneficial. 👍
