First ever puncture

[CXRAndy]

thats what im trying to say......going tubeless only makes it smoother....You could still get a puncture by just going tubeless

True you do get punctures, but invariably they seal up..

I once did a ride around Isle of Wight on tubular tyres with sealant added. On the ferry there were 5 weep marks where pinprick punctures self sealed.

Its the same for my tubeless tyres too, normally one or two pin prick holes sealed.
