As a mtber, I switched to tubeless years ago . The puncture gods remember. Now I can't get tubeless to work despite a full reinstall.

My roadie sat on a trainer, unused, for years. I need to get fitter. Used it a few times, then a flat. Huh? Spare tube. Flat. Check tyre - ok. Spare tube. Flat. Remove tyre, turn inside out, find nothing. Rim tape ok. Rim ok. Fix first tube. Badly. Flat. Give up. Inspect first tube today. No leak . Check in water. No leak. Add patch.

WTF?

Okay I put TPU tubes on my bike yesterday and it hasn't gone well so far, a pinch getting my tyres on during the operation, and a snakebite just now on a kerb I've taken many times using butyl inner tubes.....

On the plus side, there was a small but noticeable difference on gradients and slow grinding inclines, I've been using a gear higher for the same effort. Less rotating mass definitely helps.
