Interesting the happiness of tubeless seems to go up with lower pressures and larger tires.

Rim: Velocity A23
Rim width: 18 mm ID
Tire: Schwalbe Pro One
Pressure: 95
Tire width inflated: 24ish
How many layers of tape: 2, Stans aka Tesa 4289
Are you using sealant: Yes
If so, what kind and how much: Stans and OrangeSeal 1.5-2 oz
Would you buy them again: Maybe
What have you tried that you didn't like: Two punctures that would not seal @ 95 psi. 2nd one was a front puncture at 35+ mph on a descent, which then sprayed sealant all over the front and rear tire like an aerosol sprayer. Somehow I managed to slip-n-slide to a stop safely, but it was very very exciting!

I remain skeptical of high pressure road tubeless, but am getting a hankering to try it again because I am dumb and the ride is very nice. But I would definitely carry a Dynaplug to address the "non-sealing" issue.

That said, zero issues at lower <60 PSI pressures on bigger tires with cross & gravel bikes.
