Tubeless kit advice

veryslowtwitch

I just bought 4 tiny tubes of flexible superglue from ebay seller for £2.50. 0.5g single use tubes look like the easiest solution. My puncture repair kit is now microscopic with worms, insertion tool and glue. Ready for my first wormhole now. Thanks again to cycleclinic for advice. If it doesn't work then I'll be right back to report!

Update: used my first tubeless worm today. My clubmates laughed when i produced the little insertion tool, worm and superglue but the tyre held up for seventy miles (much to my own surprise). Chapeau to Malcolm at the cycleclinic. I am now a believer.

I cut off 1cm of the worm when I got home but still have a little gluey button on the tyre. Do I need to trim it any further?

Is the advise to just carry :
flexible super glue
Worms and tool
I dont want to carry more and more when I used to just carry 2 tubes and levers when running standard clinchers
Thanks

And an inflation device, and a small container of sealant

Cool that's good I can carry less, I always have the frame pump on board

I carry one of these with me as well,

So the sealant can be poured in the valve

There have been 3 occasions recently where I've had a combination of punctures that didn't seal, worms that did not stay in, tyres that popped off rim and wouldn't re-seat, and the only thing that got me home was fitting an inner tube. This proved to be a lot easier and less messy than I thought, although pliers may be needed to unscrew lock nuts or detach valve extenders.

As a result of these experiences, I am now back to carrying two inner tubes as well as everything else for tubeless repair.
