Thanks RR, am I right in thinking if it is just a small prick (pun intended) the sealant sorts that?

It will, as long as the sealant is up to the job, I’ve previously used Stans race sealant ( the more expensive one with the red cap) which has worked on small punctures. Unfortunately, most of the punctures I had on tubeless tyres were way too big for the sealant , a worm, or a patch to work. The tyre also won’t hold much pressure once it’s been holed enough to need the sealant, so the ride gets horrendous.

Tubs just look great. Especially on the vintage bike on the Sunday morning cafe ride. Remember those halcyon days.

I'm running 38mm tubeless (650B) on the Black Hallett and they're brilliant. BUT, they're only running at 50psi or less. I have just worn out the rear tyre; it had one puncture that wouldn't hold at full pressure, but it was perfectly rideable. I stuck a Stan's dart in at home and it lasted until the canvas was showing. Narrower, higher pressure tyres might be more problematical.

Monkers has got the drop on tubs. One little thing I can add. To glue them on, put them on the wheel with no glue, or just the existing residue from the previous tub, then pump them up to about half pressure. Push about 20cm of tub up onto the raised rim edge, add the glue to that section of rim, drop the tub back into place, then do the same with the next 20cm section and so on all around the wheel. Pump up to full pressure. Turns a life-and-death struggle with the mastic monster into scientific sticking. Enjoy the rolling ride.

Tubeless are great IMO, don't believe all the naysayers all you need to know here:
