THE SNOB GETS UNPLUGGED

TUBELESS has gone mainstream, mostly. The early adopters got it going, and pushed through the trial and error...

... to today's perfection.

Except not today.

After more than a decade tubeless...

• dramatically few flats
• lower pressure comfort
• increased speed and traction

... I'll never go back to tubes.

If the sealant won't seal,
the Dynaplugs will.

Except today.

Did I say that already?

In all this time, I've had 3 flats that couldn't be plugged...

... two on the very route that did me in this morning.

This one wasn't as bad as the last one where a nail went through my tire, and my rim!

Instead, a rock that punctured the side wall in two places, one on the bead.

No fixing that.

Couldn't Uber,
couldn't call Surfergirl.

I was on the Marine base,
with special access.

In other words,
I was screwed.

Fortunately, the great Steve D had missed the start and came along just in time with a tube, which snobby me was...

... too proud/confident to carry of my own.

The stalwarts and unconvinced will be dying to reply and tell me how dumb I am for running tubeless, and not carrying tubes...

... save your keystrokes.

I know.
