No kit to fix it with you? I converted to tubeless a couple of years ago, not stopped yet for a puncture, had loads but ignore them. Worst I've had is pulling a big thorn out and putting my finger over the hole until the sealant did it's magic. I still carry a tube in case of a tear but don't run high pressures, around 25psi is most I'll run.
Afraid not, my lad has tubeless but my bike has old school tubes. A completely schoolboy error on my part. Had to send my lad on ahead to ride home and get his Mom to come and pick me up. Reckon I was walking for 1.5hr, we were a long way from home as we now ride from our doorstep as it seems too much faff to drive up the 3 miles to a car park then ride. Run low at about 25-30 think it got pinched flatted running along some single track. Lesson learnt, always carry a spare got sloppy as it’s been a very long time since I punctures. I’ll turn my wheels tubeless but will go ‘ghetto’ tubeless on account of my tightness. We’re lucky we’re off-road within half a mile of home, cut up through the back of the old coal miners houses and we’re straight on to Cannock Chase then there’s a myriad of official MTB trails singletrack then some unofficial built track that we’re slowly discovering.
I often see them, you can get real close on a bike so long as you’re fairly silent. I should take a camera and snap a shot whilst it’s winter as in Summer they don’t bunch up so much. Driving over to the next town earlier in the week to take my lad boxing a car had killed a small possibly juvenile deer not a nice thing to see.
25mms gorilla tape works well for ghetto tubeless, I've done my old kona and old spark using gorilla tape
would be great to see some pics. Riding back from East Sussex last Saturday I saw something bizarre - a carcass by the road side, pretty much down to the skeleton, and then further along a "complete" but dead juvenile deer. Made me wonder how an animal that large could be left to rot that far. I stopped later on on the same journey to look at some Live ones near Betchworth, will take some pictures next time maybe.
The forestry commission or some other body generally pick the dead deer and humanly kill the injured, they get culled in any case to control the numbers. I’ll try and remember to take my phone with me, I usually leave it at home. Back in the 80’s someone I knew in passing got taken out by a deer on his X5, him and his girlfriend had some bad injuries as a result. As it’s an open speed limit mostly, I keep down to 40 but plenty will do double or more along there.
there's a stretch of road that runs alongside Send Prison renowned for Deer crossing, seen them cross well ahead of me in daylight and had one near miss in the dark on my Elefant. I expect you have a few stories, I know of no fatalities but many written-off cars including a Lancia Fulvia Berlina around 35 years ago. I saw a dozen or more cross just in front of a mate a couple of years ago, both on motorbikes, (that's us) he wasn't worried in the slightest but being further back I could see it unfolding but was powerless. He would have had a broken leg/arm minimum if he'd been a couple or three seconds further down the road.
Had to pop some templates for my exhaust brackets down to an engineering shop so decided to meander a bit and ended up with a 27 mile ride instead of 14 Some nice singletrack on the gravel bike
